Topologically close-packed phase prediction in Ni-based superalloys: phenomenological structure maps and bond-order potential theory

<p>Single crystal nickel-based superalloys are used in modern gas turbines because of their remarkable resistance to creep deformation at elevated temperatures, which is ensured by the addition of significant amounts of refractory elements. Too high concentrations of refractory elements can le...
