Abstract

The ideal strengths of metals and alloys at finite temperatures have been studied using the statistical moment method. The tensile and shear strengths of the body-centered cubic (bcc) transition metals like Mo and W (refractory metals), and ordered FeAl (B2) and Fe3Al (DO3) alloys are calculated as a function of the temperature. The orthogonal tight-binding method is used for bcc transition elements, while the universal binding-energy relation (UBER)-type of pairwise potentials, derived from ab initio density-functional theory, is used for the FeAl and Fe3Al alloys. We discuss the temperature dependence of the tensile and shear strengths of the metals and alloys in conjunction with those of the second-order elastic constants.
