First-principles study of the ternary effects on the plasticity of $$\upgamma $$ γ -TiAl crystals

Abstract We studied the effects of important ternary elements, such as Cr, Nb, and V, on the plasticity of $$\upgamma $$ γ -TiAl crystals by calculating the point defect formation energy and the change in the generalized stacking fault energy (GSFE) surface from first-principles calculations. For al...
