Abstract

NiCoCr middle-entropy alloy is known for its exceptional strength at both low and elevated operating temperatures. Mechanical properties of NiCoCr-based alloys are affected by certain features of the energy landscape, such as the energy difference between the hcp and fcc phases (which is known to correlate with the stacking fault energy in the fcc phase) and curvature of the energy surface. We compute formation energies in the Ni-Co-Cr ternary and related quaternary systems and investigate dependencies of the relative energies on composition. Such computed composition-structure-property relations can be useful for tuning composition and designing next-generation alloys with improved strength.
