Through the first-principle calculations based on density functional theory and experimental investigation, the structural stability elastic properties and mechanical properties of Ti2Cu and Ti18Cu5Nb1 intermetallics were studied. The first-principle calculations showed that the ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus (B/G) and Poisson’s ratio (ν) of Ti2Cu and Ti18Cu5Nb1 intermetallics were 2.03, 0.288, and 2.22, 0.304, respectively, indicating that the two intermetallics were ductile. This was confirmed by the compression tests, which showed that the plastic strain of both intermetallics was beyond 25%. In addition, the yield strength increased from the 416 to 710 MPa with the addition of Nb. The increase in strength is the result of three factors, namely covalent bond tendency, fine grain strengthening, and solid solution strengthening. This finding gives clues to design novel intermetallics with excellent mechanical properties by first-principle calculations and alloying.

Vacancy plays a crucial role in mechanical properties of transition metal borides (TMBs). However, the influence of vacancy on hardness of TMBs is unknown. In this paper, the relationship between boron vacancy and mechanical properties of CrB4 is investigated by first-principle calculations. Two different vacancies including boron monovacancy (MV) and boron bivacancy (BV) are considered. We find that CrB4 with boron MV is more stable than that of boron BV. The removed atom weakens the deformation resistances, and reduces the elastic stiffness and hardness. The calculated shear modulus, Young’s modulus and theoretical hardness of boron MV are larger than that of boron BV. The reason is that the removed atom weakens the localized hybridization between B and B atoms, and damages the 3D-network B–B covalent bond. However, the bulk modulus of B[Formula: see text] is slightly larger than that of perfect CrB4. This reason is attributed to the formation of triangular pyramid bonding in B[Formula: see text] vacancy.
