In this paper, we employed first-principle calculations to investigate the elastic properties, electronic properties and hardness of diamond and hexagonal W2B5 compounds under high pressure. The elastic properties were carried out to discuss the structural stability and the bond components of diamond and hexagonal W2B5. The electronic properties were presented to analysis the change of the bond components for W2B5. In addition, the hardness of these two crystals under high pressure was calculated by a semi-empirical method considering the role of metallic components and the effect of pressure on the hardness of diamond and hexagonal W2B5 was discussed.

In this paper, we have investigated the structural stability and elastic properties of four tungsten borides with the hexagonal structure by the first principle calculations. The results indicated that m-WB2 and c-WB2 were stable in thermodynamics and structure. The stiffness coefficient and modulus of the stable compounds were also calculated and were compared with those of the typical MAX ceramics. The computed ratios of bulk-to-shear-modulus and bulk-modulus-to-c44 showed that m-WB2 and c-WB2 were ductile.
