Semiempirical Theory of Solid Solubility in Transition Metal Alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
A semiempirical theory of solid solubility in transition metal alloys is presented. The theory is based on writing the energy of formation of the solid solution as a sum of several contributions: a) a chemical contribution due to electronic redistribution in forming the alloy, b) an elastic contribution arising from the difference in size between solute and solvent atoms and c) a structural contribution due to the difference in crystal structure between solute and solvent and to the change in average valence when disolving foreign atoms. Special care is taken in evaluating these contributions in the concentrated alloy regime. The influence of charge transfer on the effective atomic volumes of the components in the alloy is also considered and found to be important. The results obtained are in good agreement with experiment.

Microstructure of Al3Sc with ternary transition-metal additions
The microstructure of binary Al3Sc and ternary Al3(Sc1−yXy), where X is one of the transition metals from Group IIIA (Y), IVA (Ti, Zr or Hf) or VA (V, Nb or Ta), was investigated as a function of alloying element concentration for 0.1 y 0.75. Alloys with Group IIIA and IVA additions exhibited a single L12 solid-solution phase with some Kirkendall porosity. At the highest concentration studied, ...

Aluminum and aluminum alloys can be protected against corrosion by various methods of surface modification (e.g., metal finishing, anodizing, chromate conversion coatings, metallic cladding with Alclad, corrosion protection compounds, and solution phase inhibitors). The desire to deploy environmentally compliant multi-functional coatings has created the need for new concepts that can protect Al...
متن کاملNucleation and Precipitation Strengthening in Dilute Al-Ti and Al-Zr Alloys
Two conventionally solidified Al-0.2Ti alloys (with 0.18 and 0.22 at. pct Ti) exhibit no hardening after aging up to 3200 hours at 375 C or 425 C. This is due to the absence of Al3Ti precipitation, as confirmed by electron microscopy and electrical conductivity measurements. By contrast, an Al-0.2Zr alloy (with 0.19 at. pct Zr) displays strong age hardening at both temperatures due to precipita...

We use first-principles density functional theory calculations to investigate the strongly nonlinear compositional trends in ferroelectric BiBO3-PbTiO3 solid solutions for a variety of cations on the perovskite B site. We demonstrate that previously tabulated crystal chemical parameters (extracted from other Pb-based perovskite alloys [Grinberg et al., J. Appl. Phys. 98, 094111 (2005)]) permit ...
