Abstract
Implementation of novel γ/γ'Co-based superalloys with higher strength and improved creep durabil-ity is a challenging task for researchers.The lack of atomic-level understanding of plastic deformation behavior has seriously limited the exploration of the full capacity of Co-based alloys.We put forward a comprehensive study of generalized stacking fault energies by first principles to explore the effect of Ni and Al/W on the plastic deformation mechanism of γ'precipitates in Co-based superalloys.It is found that alloying Ni and adjusting Al/W obviously change the dislocation glide and twinning nucleation in the γ'precipitates by altering the stable fault energies and the unstable fault energy barriers.Excessive ad-dition of either Ni or W deteriorates the strength even the stability of alloys.The ratio of effective planar fault energy (△Ep) bridges intrinsic energy barriers and various deformation mechanisms of superalloys at elevated temperatures.Except for alloying effects,the grain orientation also significantly governs the operation of the plastic deformation of superalloys.Our theoretical results agree with the available mea-surements and well capture the observed phenomena in experiments.
