摘要
The purpose of this work is to predict elastic and thermodynamic properties of chromium-based alloys based on first-principles calculations and to demonstrate an appropriate computational approach to develop new materials for high-temperature applications in energy systems. In this study, Poisson ratio is used as a screening parameter to identify ductilizing additives to the refractory alloys. The results predict that elements such as Ti, V Zr Nb, Hf and Ta show potential as ductilizers in Cr while Al, Ge, and Ga are predicted to decrease the ductility of Cr. Experimental evidence, where available, validates these predictions.
