摘要
Iron is a potential element for developing cheap titanium alloys and a possible stabilizer of the nanostructured state. In this work, solubility, formation of Fe-Fe complexes and grain boundary segregation of Fe are studied in alpha-titanium using density functional theory. It is found that Fe prefers to be in substitutional sites in the bulk region and in interstitial sites at grain boundaries of alpha-Ti. The main contribution to solubility is provided by strongly bound Fe-Fe complexes. At certain conditions segregation of iron can provide notable stabilization of grain boundaries, reducing their energy by more than 200 mJ/m(2). Finally, it is shown that precipitation of Fe at Ti grain boundary is a favorable process that occurred without nucleation barriers. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
