Abstract

The aim of this work is to search for novel Co-based superalloys from first-principles calculations. Based on the Co3Ta binary system, which is a promising L12 (γ′) strengthened compound, the effects of alloying element X (X = Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Ir and Pt) on the thermal stability and mechanical property were investigated. The temperature effect is taken into account in the framework of quasi-harmonic Debye theory. According to the present results, Ru and Rh are the promising alloying elements to improve the stability of γ′-Co3Ta compound against its competitive phase D019. Particularly, Ru and Rh exhibit improved performance of both mechanical strengthening and structural stabilization. There theoretical predictions in terms of the thermodynamic stability of Co-Ta-X (Ru and Ru) compounds were experimentally verified.
