AbstractThe effect of alloying elements Ta, Mo, W, Cr, Re, Ru, Co, and Ir on the elastic properties of both γ-Ni and γ′-Ni3Al is studied by first-principles method. Results for lattice properties, elastic moduli and the ductile/brittle behaviors are all presented. Our calculated values agree well with the existing experimental observations. Results show all the additions decrease the lattice misfit between and γ′ phases. Different alloying elements are found to have different effect on the elastic moduli of γ-Ni. Whereas all the alloying elements slightly increase the moduli of γ′-Ni3Al expect Co. Both of the two phases are becoming more brittle with alloying elements, but Co is excepted. The electronic structures of γ′ phase alloyed with different elements are provided as example to elucidate the different strengthening mechanisms.

The formation enthalpy, electronic structures, and elastic moduli of the intermetallic compound Ti5Si3 with substitutions Zr, V, Nb, and Cr are investigated by using first-principles methods based on the density-functional theory. Our calculation shows that the site occupancy behaviors of alloying elements in Ti5Si3, determined by their atom radius, are consistent with the available experimental observations. Furthermore, using the Voigt–Reuss–Hill (VRH) approximation method, we obtained the bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, and the Young’s modulus E. Among these four substitutions, the V, Nb, and Cr substitutions can improve the ductility of Ti5Si3 effectively, while Zr substitution has little effect on the elastic properties of Ti5Si3. The elastic property variations of Ti5Si3 due to different substitutions are found to be correlated with the Me4d–Me4d antibonding and the strengthened Me4d–Si bonding in the solids.
