Abstract

Establishing the chemical dependence of thermally activated processes which govern plasticity in intermetallic alloys requires that the dislocation dissociation reactions be determined as a function of composition. A major parameter governing such reactions is the relative fault stability as a function of composition. Here the results of first principles electronic structure calculations, using the layer Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method, are reported for planar faults in γ TiAl at various compositions. The influence of dilute substitutional impurities on the fault energies is treated using the coherent potential approximation. The variation of fault energies as a function of binary composition (TixAl1−x where 52≤x≤49) and the addition of transition metals (Cr, Mn and Nb at 2% concentration) are presented. The influence of this chemical dependence on the stability of <101] super-dislocations is discussed, along with expected trends in the flow stress behavior.
