TiB2/316L stainless steel composites were prepared by selective laser melting (SLM), and the adhesion work, interface energy and electronic structure of TiB2/γ-Fe interface in TiB2/316L stainless steel composites were investigated to explore the heterogeneous nucleation potential of γ-Fe grains on TiB2 particles using first principles. Six interface models composed of three different stacking positions and two different terminations were established. The B-terminated-top 2 site interface (“B-top 2”) was the most stable because of the largest adhesion work, smallest interfacial distances, and smallest interfacial energy. The difference charge density and partial density of states indicated that a large number of strong Fe-B covalent bonds were formed near the “B-top 2” interface, which increased the stability of interface. Fracture analysis revealed that the bonding strength of the “B-top 2” interface was higher than that of the Fe matrix, and it was difficult to fracture at the interface. The interface energy at the Ti-poor position in the “B-top 2” interface model was smaller than that of the γ-Fe/Fe melt, indicating that TiB2 had strong heterogeneous nucleation potency for γ-Fe.

TiC/316L stainless steel composites were prepared by selective laser melting. The adhesion work, interface energy and electronic structure of the TiC/γ-Fe interfaces in TiC/316L stainless steel composites were studied to investigate the heterogeneous nucleation potential of γ-Fe grains on TiC particles by using the first principle. The degree mismatch between TiC (001) and γ-Fe (001) interface was lowest. There are four TiC (001)/γ-Fe (001) interface models with different stacking sequences (on-site and bridge-site) and different atomic arrangement sequences (C centre and Ti centre). The results show that the Fe-on-Ti centre interface had the largest work of adhesion (3.87 J/m2) and lower interfacial energy (0.04 J/m2), it was more stable, and the interfacial energy of the model was lower than that of γ-Fe/Fe melt (0.24 J/m2). Strong Fe-C covalent bonds and Fe-Ti metallic bonds were formed near the interface, which increased the interfacial strength, indicating that TiC had strong heterogeneous nucleation potency for γ-Fe.

Using first-principles method, the work of adhesion (Wad) and electronic structure of Al3Hf (001)/Al (001) interface are studied and the mechanism of Al3Hf as enhanced heterogeneous nucleus of α-Al are discussed. The results indicate that Al + Hf-termination interfaces with same stacking sequence and the HCP (Al atom locating on top of the Al3Hf slab) interface with the same termination have maximum Wad and minimum interface energy (yint), and therefore they are more stable ones. It is noteworthy that Al + Hf-terminated interface with HCP is most steady one. The stacking of Al atoms on Al3Hf substrates tend to occur in this way. Besides, electronic structures indicate that Al + Hf-terminated interfaces have stronger electronic interaction than that of Al-terminated ones and the Al-Hf bonds of Al + Hf-terminated interface with HCP stacking tend to covalent bonds, while Al–Al bonds of Al-terminated one are metal bonds. Al3Hf as enhanced heterogeneous nucleation of α-Al are effective from crystallography and thermodynamics.

The interface is the area where two type of materials are connected, the strength and property of interface are important for the application of the clad. In this paper, interfacial strength and fracture properties of stainless steel-aluminum clad are analyzed with the methods of interfacial shear test and four point bending test, and the interfacial crack and the interfacial fracture structure are analyzed with SEM. The results show that the bonding of stainless steel and aluminum is successfully realized by explosive welding, the interfacial shear strength reach 70.90MPa, and the interfacial energy release rate is 1.725 MPa•m, the thickness of transition layer is about 10μm at the interface, the interfacial fracture happen and extend in the transition layer along the interface and the interface fracture structure is inclined to brittle fracture.
