Interactions in multicomponent Ni-Cr-Mo-Al-Re model alloy were determined by ab initio calculations in order to investigate the Re doping effect on Haynes 282 alloy. Simulation results provided an understanding of short-range interactions in the alloy and successfully pre-dicted the formation of a Cr and Re-rich phase. The Haynes 282 + 3 % wt. Re alloy was manu-factured using the additive manufacturing Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technique, in which the presence of the (Cr17Re6)C6 carbide was confirmed by an XRD study. The results ob-tained provide useful information about the interactions between Ni, Cr, Mo, Al, and Re as a function of temperature. The 5-element model designed can lead to a better understanding of phenomena that occur during the manufacturing or heat treatment of modern, complex, multi-component Ni-based superalloys.
