First-principles phase stability calculations of Al3(Ti1−xNbx) pseudobinary alloys — •Yuhong Liu1,2, Peter Puschnig1, Ernst Gamsjäger2, and Claudia Ambrosch-draxl11Atomistic Modelling and Design of Materials, University of Leoben, Austria — 2Institute of Mechanics, University of Leoben, Austria

In the TiAlNb-system(mole fraction of Al amounts to 0.75), the intermetallic ε-phase can exist in the L12, D022, or D023 structure. Experimental results indicate that the addition of Nb shows a site preference for the Ti sublattice. Therefore, we calculate the thermodynamic properties of Al3(Ti1−xNbx) by assuming a pseudo-binary alloy system. We utilize the ATAT package to perform the sublattice cluster-expansion approach. Total energies of various ordered super-cell structures are obtained within density-functional theory using the projector augmented wave (PAW) method as implemented in the VASP code. Effective cluster interactions derived from the structure-inversion method are then used in an Ising-type Hamiltonian, which is solved by Monte-Carlo simulations. Our results show that the addition of Nb stabilizes the cubic L12 structure relative to the D022 and D023 ones. We find the effect of short-range-order on the calculated formation energies to be small compared to random mixing on the Ti-Nb sublattice. At high temperature, thermodynamic quantities such as the enthalpy and free energy are extracted from the Monte-Carlo simulations and compared to results from the CALPHAD method.
