Abstract Scope |
Ni-based superalloys are a superior class of structural materials used in aircraft turbines and power plants due to their excellent strength, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance at high temperatures. In particular, their high-temperature strength is linked to high antiphase boundary (APB) energy in the Ni3Al precipitates, which motivates a better understanding for how chemical heterogeneity affects the APB energy. The APB energy varies with not only solute chemistry and concentration, but also sublattice site preference in the ordered (L12 structure) Ni3Al precipitates. We use a thermodynamic model implemented in PyDII combined with density functional theory calculations to predict the site preference of alloying additions to Ni3Al and derive descriptors that correlate with high APB energy. We discuss how this methodology allows us to intelligently screen for promising superalloy chemistries through validation with a subset of common alloying elements. |
