Abstract

The free energy simulation method is employed to study segregation to Σ5 and Σ13 (001) twist grain boundaries and their free energies in ordered Ni3−xAl1+x. In the temperature range studied (300–900K), it is shown that there is almost no segregation, strong Al segregation, and weak Ni segregation to the grain boundary for the stoichiometric, Al-rich, and Ni-rich bulk compositions respectively. It is also shown that the segregation is limited to a few (002) planes around the grain boundary and its magnitude decreases with increasing temperature. For Al-rich bulk composition, it is demonstrated that segregation at low temperature substantially lowers the grain boundary free energy.
