First principles calculations of the effect of Pt on NiAl surface energy and the site preference of Pt
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pt-modified NiAl is widely used as a coating material in industry. In this study, the surface energies of NiAl with and without Pt are investigated using first-principles calculations. The presence of Pt in NiAl takes the surface electronic states to higher energies, resulting in an increased surface energy, which explains some of the beneficial effects of Pt on the oxidation resistance of NiAl. The electronic structure of NiAl-Pt alloys is also analyzed in terms of the site preference of Pt in NiAl. Results show that Pt bonds strongly to Al, giving its site preference on the Ni site.

The effect of platinum on diffusion kinetics in beta-NiAl: implications for thermal barrier coating lifetimes.
Platinum is added to thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) as it is observed empirically to extend their lifetime, but the mechanism by which Pt acts is unknown. Since Pt has been proposed to alter diffusivities in NiAl, a key component of TBCs, we use first-principles quantum mechanics calculations to investigate atomic level diffusion mechanisms. Here, we examine the effect of Pt on five previously...

The spin-polarized calculations in generalized gradient approximation density–functional theory (GGA–DFT) have been used to show how the existence of second metals can modify the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Au (100), Cu (100), and Pt (100) surfaces. The computed adsorption energies for the atomic hydrogen adsorbed at the surface coverage of 0.125 ML (monolayer) for the monometallic Au (100), ...

In this study, the effect of platinum-aluminide coating parameters on surface roughness of nickel-based superalloy Rene®80 was evaluated. For this purpose, different thicknesses of Pt-layer (2, 4, 6 and 8µm) were plated on the Samples. Then diffusion aluminide coating in two types, high tempeature-low activity and low temperature-high activity was performed. The results of structural investigat...
