Abstract
The structure, elastic properties and electronic structure of Ti-Al intermetallics including Ti3Al (space group P63/mmc), TiAl (space group I4/mmm) and TiAl3 (space group P4/mmm) are systematically studied by first-principles calculations. The results show that Ti-Al intermetallics can exist stably whether Cr replaces Ti or Al. The ductility of the alloy cannot be improved when Ti is replaced in Cr-doped TiAl and TiAl3. However, when it replaces Al, the alloy has better ductility. In Ti3Al, the ductility can be improved regardless of whether Cr replaces Ti or Al, and the effect is better when it replaces Al. The bond in Ti-Al intermetallics is mainly a Ti-Ti metal bond. The metal bond between Ti-Ti is strengthened and a solid metal bond is formed between Cr and Ti, inducing a better ductility of the material, after Cr replaces Al in Ti-Al intermetallics.
