Grain boundary segregation of C, N and O in hexagonal close-packed titanium from first principles

Abstract: It is believed that grain boundary segregation of light interstitials can serve as the possible mechanism of thermal stability in commercially pure nanostructured titanium alloys. In this paper, using first-principles calculations, we show that independent segregation of C, N and O atoms at Σ7 high angle grain boundary in α-Ti is energetically unfavourable. The presence of interstitial elements near the grain boundary plane results in the increase of the grain boundary width and specific formation energy.

“…Therefore, the optimization of strength and ductility requires a profound knowledge of volume fraction and distribution of ultra-fine grains and coarse grain in multi-modal alloys. Research of the influence of the grain structure on the strength and ductility of the alloys under cyclic loadings, dynamic loadings, quasistatic loadings are carried out using experimental methods and by computer simulation [14][15][16][17].…”

“…Further combined TKD-APT analysis of additional boundaries of different crystallographic character would allow verification of density functional theory models, which predict segregation of a range of elements to grain boundaries of different types 49,50 . The presence of impurities at grain boundaries can cause embrittlement, but also strengthening through, for example, increasing grain boundary cohesion 51 .…”

“…It is well-known that hydrogen can segregate towards GBs in pure metals [ 29 , 30 ] and the local composition at GBs is thus of large interest for hydrogen permeation through dense metal membranes. Several DFT studies have investigated GB segregation in metals, e.g., in Ni [ 31 ], Ti [ 32 ], and Fe [ 33 ]. Other studies have focused on studying GB energies in alloys, e.g., in NiTi [ 34 ], Ti-Mo and Ti-V alloys [ 35 ], and in the ternary Ni 2 MnGa [ 36 ], and Ni-Al-Co systems [ 37 ].…”
