Integrating computational modeling and first-principles calculations to predict stacking fault energy of dilute multicomponent Ni-base alloys

Stacking fault energy (γSF) for dilute multicomponent Ni-base alloys has been modeled using an integrating CALPHAD (calculation of phase diagram) modeling approach and first-principles alias shear deformation calculations of unary, binary, and ternary alloys. The present first-principles results of γSF from 55 Ni70X1Y1 (X and Y are 11 alloying elements of Al, Mo, Nb, Os, Re, Ru, Ta, Tc, Ti, V, and W) indicate that the more the structural similarity between X and Y, the smaller the ternary interaction of γSF; and the variation of γSF due to alloying elements is similar to that of bulk modulus.
