Mechanical properties of Ni-based superalloys strongly depend on phase and site preferences of alloying elements which influence bonding strength within gamma'-Ni3Al precipitates and microstructural characteristics of these unique class of materials. In the current work, therefore, besides disclosure of the phase partitioning behaviours of alloying X elements (i.e. X = Co, Cr, Nb, Ta or Ti) among gamma' and gamma phases, their site occupancy tendencies in gamma' precipitates (determined via first-principles ab initio calculations at 0 K) and effects on the microstructural evolution of Ni80Al15X5 alloy systems (exposed to aging at 800 degrees C for 4, 16, 64 and 256 h, respectively) have been examined. Bonding features of Ni-Al, Ni-X and Al-X atomic pairs within Ni3Al-X intermetallics have been simulated by utilizing charge density difference (CDD) method, which reveals site preferences of alloying X elements as well. Present theoretical and experimental investigations have shown that mechanical strength of Nibased superalloys is predominantly affected by bonding properties within precipitates. As atomic radii of alloying X elements become closer to that of Al atom, energy change parameter, E-Ni -> Al(X) values decrease and more Al sublattice sites are preferentially occupied in gamma' precipitates. Correspondingly, bonding strength of Ni-X atomic pairs along < 110 > directions of Ni3Al-X phases and micro-hardness properties of both as-cast and pre aged Ni80Al15X5 alloy systems enhance in the order of X = Co < Cr < Ti < Nb < Ta additions. Nevertheless, with increasing aging time, mechanical strength of alloys weakens in parallel with increasing size of gamma' precipitates simultaneously evolved from near-spherical to irregular forms.

Much of the recent metallic glass research is devoted to controlling the crystallization of amorphous precursors with the purpose of obtaining amorphous matrix nanocrystalline alloys which combine unmatched soft magnetic properties with good mechanical properties. Therefore, it is crucial to have better understanding of crystallization mechanisms and thermal dependence of nanocrystals that are formed by annealing. This study deals with the nanociystallization kinetics of Cu-modified Fe-Co-Ni-B-Si-Nb bulk am...

The effects of substitutional ternary additions of Me = Zn, Ti, Si, Cr, Mn, Mo, W, Nb, Ta, V, Hf, or Zr on the energetical and structural characteristics of atomic short-range ordering (SRO) of Ni-3(Al(1-x)Me(x)) intermetallics with L1(2) type ordered structure have been analysed by combining the statistical theory of ordering with the electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation. The partial ordering energies and pairwise SRO parameters were calculated by taking into account the influence o...
