Al,Cr共偏析α-Fe晶界对其结合强度影响的第一性原理研究

在密度泛函理论的框架下,采用广义梯度近似(GGA)研究了合金化元素Al,Cr在α-Fe+(210)晶界共偏析的作用.结果表明Cr提高了Fe晶界结合,为韧性杂质;而Al减弱了晶界的结合,是脆性杂质.Cr不能够彻底地消除Al的脆化作用,反而使其脆性增强.基于偏聚能分析表明Cr能有效地抑制Al偏析到晶界,提高α-Fe的力学性能.     

第一性原理方法研究He掺杂Al晶界力学性质

基于密度泛函理论方法,本文开展了氦掺杂AlΣ3((111)/180°)晶界数值模拟拉伸试验.计算结果表明,He在晶界中最低杂质形成能为2.942 eV,偏析到晶界的偏析能为0.085 eV;在拉伸条件下,清洁Σ3晶界的理论拉伸强度为9.65 GPa,拉伸断裂从晶界界面开始;而He掺杂后,晶界的理论拉伸强度下降到7.14 GPa,在断裂发生前应力曲线中出现平台效应,拉伸断裂从包含He杂质的界面开始.通过对比键长和电荷密度分布,本文认为He的满壳层电子结构一方面导致了He与Al之间 关键词： He 晶界 第一性原理计算 力学性质

La、Al在Fe晶界上协同作用的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理,研究了稀土La和Al在bcc-Fe中Fe晶界处的协同作用影响.计算了La和Al在晶界、表面、晶内的形成能,建立La、Al共存于晶界模型,通过电荷密度、布居分布手段分析了La、Al原子对晶界的影响.结果表明:La、Al原子易偏聚在晶界处,且La-Al的原子间距与体系结合能成正比关系. La的掺杂改善了晶界处的电荷分布情况,促进了Al原子与周围Fe原子间的相互作用,态密度曲线的计算结果显示,La原子的加入能够使La、Fe及Al原子间的键的结合力更强,从而提高了界面结合强度.     

硼在fcc-Fe晶界偏析及对界面结合能力影响的第一性原理研究

基于第一性原理的密度泛函理论计算了 B在fcc-Fe的∑3(112),∑5(210),∑5(310),∑9(114),∑9(221)和∑11(113)六种对称倾斜晶界的偏析行为,从原子和电子层次揭示了 B的偏析机制.结果表明:B更易偏析于∑5(210),∑5(310)和∑9(114)晶界,而在∑9(221),∑3(112)和∑11(113)晶界偏析的倾向较弱;B优先占据配位数最大、五面体或六面体构型的位置;拉伸实验和Rice-Wang热力学模型计算表明,B在晶界的偏析可提高界面的结合能力;B在E9(114)晶界偏析后电子结构引起局部电荷密度增加导致的化学效应优于结构变化带来的不利影响,B-p电子与Fe-s电子间的强相互作用提高了界面的结合能力.本研究结果对B优化奥氏体不锈钢界面结构具有一定指导作用.     

第一性原理研究Zn偏析对CuΣ5晶界的影响

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法研究了Zn偏析Cu晶界的原子构型和电子结构,分析了Zn偏析对Cu晶界力学性能的影响.结果表明,Zn以替换方式偏析到晶界处,Zn—Cu与Cu—Cu的成键方式类似,均为含有共价成分的金属键.Zn偏析导致少量电荷集聚于Zn与近邻Cu之间,有限地增强了晶界的结合.拉伸过程中Zn的d轨道定域性增强,Zn与近邻Cu间的电荷密度下降,削弱了Zn—Cu键,导致晶界断裂发生在Zn—Cu间.     

Al晶界的第一性原理拉伸试验

用双粒子模型研究微量元素与Ni在Ni3Al晶界共富集现象

双粒子模型的基础是描述原子之间相互作用势为EAM(embedded atom method)势的Monte Carlo模拟.模型建议:在Ni3Al晶界弛豫时,微量元素原子既被看作为偏析子又被看作为诱发子.作为偏析子它在晶界偏析(或富集),作为诱发子它诱发Ni原子在晶界偏析(或富集).可见本模型能解析共偏析(或共富集)现象.根据正(或诱发子)效应与负(或偏析子)效应的联合影响,模型解释了Ni在Ni3Al晶界最明显富集现象.     

合金元素Zr韧化不同计量比Ni3Al合金的微观机制

利用正电子湮没技术(PAT)测量了不同化学计量比二元Ni3Al合金及不同Zr含量Ni3Al合金的正电子寿命谱,并估算了合金基体和晶界缺陷处的自由电子密度.结果表明,二元Ni77Al23合金的基体和缺陷态的自由电子密度都比二元Ni74Al26合金的高.Ni3Al合金晶界缺陷处开空间大于Ni空位或Al空位的开空间,晶界缺陷处的自由电子密度很低,金属键合力很弱.过化学计量比Ni74Al26合金的晶界缺陷开空间比亚化学计量比Ni77Al23合金的大,晶界结合力更弱.这是Ni74Al26合金更脆的原因.在Ni3Al合金中加入Zr,增加了合金中的金属键成分,使基体中的自由电子密度增加,增强了基体金属键合力,同时降低了合金的有序度,使合金晶界容易弛豫,晶界缺陷的开空间变小.另外,Zr原子偏聚到晶界,增加了晶界处的自由电子密度,同时引起晶界处Al贫化,减少了强共价性Ni-Al和Al-Al键,使晶界更易于变形,有利于提高合金的塑性.     

杂质S对Fe/Al_2O_3界面结合影响的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理平面波赝势方法,研究了杂质S对Fe/Al_2O_3界面结合的影响.计算结果表明:S在界面上Fe3原子处的界面偏析能最小,因此S易于向Fe3原子处偏析.Fe/Al_2O_3界面的结合主要受界面两侧Fe和O原子间相互作用控制.态密度、键重叠布居数和电子密度的计算结果均表明:S在界面处的偏析减弱了界面处Fe原子和O原子之间的相互作用,而且S的存在会引起Fe和O原子之间较强的静电排斥,这些导致了界面结合力的下降.研究结果可以使我们深入理解S在Fe-Cr-Al合金界面处的偏析造成氧化膜与合金基体结合减弱及氧化膜在S偏聚处剥离的机理.     

Influence of impurity elements on the nucleation and growth of Si in high purity melt-spun Al–Si-based alloys

The nucleation and growth of Si has been investigated by TEM in a series of high purity melt spun Al–5Si (wt%)-based alloys with a trace addition of Fe and Sr. In the as-melt-spun condition, some twinned Si particles were found to form directly from the liquid along the grain boundary. The addition of Sr into Al–5Si-based alloys promotes the twinning of Si particles on the grain boundary and the formation of Si precipitates in the α-Al matrix. The majority of plate-shaped and truncated pyramid-shaped Si precipitates were also found to nucleate and grow along {111}_α-Al planes from supersaturated solid solution in the α-Al matrix. In contrast, controlled slow cooling decreased the amount of Si precipitates, while the size of the Si precipitates increased. The orientation relationship between these Si precipitates and the α-Al matrix still remained cube to cube. The β-Al₅FeSi intermetallic was also observed, depending on subsequent controlled cooling.     

Grain boundary sliding in pure and segregated bicrystals: a molecular dynamics and first principles study

Sliding behaviors of Σ9(221) grain boundary bicrystals have been investigated in pure metals (Al, Ag, Au, Cu, Pt and Co) and in segregated metals (Cu segregated by Al, Ag, Au, Pt and Co) by molecular dynamics simulations and first-principles calculations. The grain boundary energy, the atomic size and the electronegativity of the segregated elements were not critical for the occurrence of grain boundary sliding. On the other hand, the sliding rate increased as the minimum charge density decreased at the bond critical point. This was the case for both pure grain boundary models and segregated grain boundary models. Therefore, it seems that the sliding rate depends on atomic movement at sites with minimum charge density, irrespective of the elements involved and of the presence of segregated atoms.     

Effect of aliovalent ion substitution on the oxide ion conductivity in rare-earth pyrohafnates RE2−xSrxHf2O7−δ and RE2Hf2−x AlxO7−δ (RE=Gd and Nd; x=0, 0.1 and 0.2)

Oxide ion conductivity of the pure and aliovalent ion substituted rare-earth pyrohafnates in the series RE_2−xSr_xHf₂O₇ and RE₂Hf_2−xAl_xO₇ (RE=Gd and Nd; x=0–0.2) has been explored in the temperature range 400°C–700°C for the first time. It is seen that, conductivity is enhanced by doping 5 atom% Sr at the rare–earth site in these systems. Well defined impedance plots due to grain interior and grain boundary resistances were obtained in the Gd pyrohafnate with Sr substitution. The results of the conductivity variation for the pure, Sr and Al doped phases are explained on the basis of pyrochlore structure.     

合金元素韧化或脆化FeAl金属间化合物的微观机制

通过测量二元FeAl以及含B，Zr或Si的FeAl合金的正电子寿命谱参数，计算合金基体和缺陷处的价电子密度.结果表明，当Al原子和Fe原子结合形成FeAl合金时，Al原子提供价电子与Fe原子的3d电子形成局域的共价键.FeAl合金基体的价电子密度很低，FeAl合金中金属键和共价键共存.FeAl合金晶界缺陷的开空间大于Fe空位或Al空位的开空间，FeAl合金晶界处的金属键合力很弱.在FeAl合金中加入少量的B，一部分B原子以间隙方式固溶到FeAl基体中，增加基体的价电子密度；另一部分B原子偏聚到FeAl合金的晶界上，也增加了晶界处的价电子密度.在FeAl合金中加入Zr，增加了合金中的金属键成分，使基体中的价电子密度增加，增强了基体中金属键合力.Zr原子的加入还降低了FeAl合金的有序度，使合金晶界容易弛豫，晶界缺陷的开空间变小.Zr原子在晶界附近出现，还增加了晶界处的价电子密度.在FeAl中加入B或Zr有利于提高合金的韧性.在FeAl合金中加入Si，晶界处的Si原子与邻近的原子形成强的共价键，使得在晶界处参与形成金属键的价电子密度降低.在FeAl中加入Si使合金更脆. 关键词：

Atomistic studies of the structure and composition of grain boundaries in Cu3Au and Ni3Al

In this paper we investigate the atomic structure and composition of grain boundaries in Cu₃Au (weakly ordered compound) and Ni₃Al (strongly ordered compound). Computer simulations employing both the molecular statics and Monte Carlo methods were performed and the Finnis-Sinclair type many-body central force potentials used. First, grain boundaries in stoichiometric alloys are studied with the goal to investigate the impact of ordering strength on the grain boundary structure and composition. In Cu₃Au grain boundaries may become compositionally disordered even at room temperature and the compositional disordering is associated with segregation of gold. In contrast, in Ni₃Al grain boundaries remain compositionally ordered up to very high temperatures. Secondly, the structures of grain boundaries and the effect of Ni and Al segregation in non-stoichiometric Ni₃Al are investigated. Nickel segregation leads to compositional disordering at grain boundaries, while aluminum segregation, which is strongly selective, leads to an ordered grain boundary structure with high Al content. The possible relationship between structural and compositional characteristics of grain boundaries and their mechanical properties, in particular the grain boundary brittleness and its alleviation by additional alloying, are then discussed in the light of the results of this study.
