Mechanistic investigation of alloying elements Cr, Ni, Ti doping effects on TiC/Fe interfacial properties
The interfacial bonding failure of TiC/γ-Fe has emerged as a critical bottleneck restricting the performance enhancement of composite materials. The formation energy, interfacial adhesion work, electronic properties, and d-band center of both doped and clean interfaces were investigated by first-principles calculations. The results show that the Ti-doped interface exhibits the highest stability, attributed to its lowest formation energy (−0.15 eV) at the TiC/γ-Fe interface. The interfacial adhesive work follows the order: Cr-doped interface (6.53 J/m2) > Ti-doped (6.39 J/m2) > Ni-doped (5.15 J/m2), revealing that the interfacial bonding strength was significantly enhanced by Cr and Ti doping. Electronic structure analysis reveals that Cr-C bond exhibit predominantly covalent characteristics. The bonding strength of the Fe-C bond at the interface was enhanced by Cr doping., while both Cr- and Ti-doped interfaces demonstrate more pronounced charge transfer compared to clean systems, thereby strength of interfacial bonding was enhanced. A significant positive correlation was identified between the d-band center and adhesive work, suggesting that the change of surface d-band center provides an effective pathway to enhance strength of interfacial bonding. The computational results elucidate the fundamental mechanisms the whereby interfacial bonding strength of TiC/γ-Fe was enhanced by Cr and Ti doping, offering both theoretical guidance and effective modulation strategies for researches the interfacial performance of composite materials.
期刊介绍:
The goal of Computational Materials Science is to report on results that provide new or unique insights into, or significantly expand our understanding of, the properties of materials or phenomena associated with their design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and utilization. To be relevant to the journal, the results should be applied or applicable to specific material systems that are discussed within the submission.
