Generalized Stacking Fault Energies of Aluminum Alloys–Density Functional Theory Calculations
Generalized stacking fault energies of aluminum alloys were calculated using density functional theory. Stacking fault energy of aluminum alloys was correlated with the d-electrons number of transition metal alloying elements. The tendency to twinning is also modified by the presence of the alloying...

| Summary: | Generalized stacking fault energies of aluminum alloys were calculated using density functional theory. Stacking fault energy of aluminum alloys was correlated with the d-electrons number of transition metal alloying elements. The tendency to twinning is also modified by the presence of the alloying element in the deformation plane. Our results suggest that Al alloys, with such elements as Zr, Nb, Y, Mo, Ta, and Hf, are expected to exhibit a strong work hardening rate due to emission of the partial dislocations. |
