摘要
The mechanical properties of transition metal carbides TixM1-xC (0 <= x <= 1) alloys, with TM = Nb, V and Zr were carried out using a first-principles pseudopotential calculcalculation. The Ti substitution by a transition metal TM is assumed to completely random so we can use the virtual crystal approximation (VGA) for the disordered alloys. These calculation shows that the mechanical properties are largely affected by the alloying due to the interplay between ionic and covalent bonding of TM-C. The TiNbC and TiVC show an increase of the hardness with increasing x, while for TiZrC a decrease is observed. The variation of elastic constants is correlated to the electronic structure and the nature of bonding for TMC.
