Article Description

With the aim of improving ductility through structural modification, first-principles calculations have been carried out to study the effect of ternary additions of 3d transition metals on the structural stability of TiAl. It is found that all the ternary transition-metal additions substitute preferentially for Ti atoms in TiAl. Our calculations predict that V and Cr are potent stabilizers, whereas Zr, Ni and Cu (with about 10 at. %) can stabilize TiAl into the L1 structure. Both modified cubic structures can possibly provide improved ductility compared with that of TiAl with the hexagonal D0 structure. It is also found that the electronic density of states at the Fermi level plays an important role in determining the structural stability. © 1995 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
