Popis | The I-1 intrinsic stacking fault energy (I-1 SFE) serves as an alloy design parameter for ductilizing Mg alloys. In view of this effect we have conducted quantum mechanical calculations for Mg15X solid-solution crystals (X=Dy, Er, Gd, Ho, Lu, Sc, Tb, Tm, Nd, Pr, Be, Ti, Zr, Zn, Tc, Re, Co, Ru, Os, Tl). We find that Y, Sc and all studied lanthanides reduce the I-1 SFE and render hexagonal closed-packed (hcp) and double hcp phases thermodynamically, structurally and elastically similar. Synthesis, experimental testing and characterization of some of the predicted key alloys (Mg-3Ho, Mg-3Er, Mg-3Tb, Mg-3Dy) indeed confirm reduced I-1 SFEs and significantly improved room-temperature ductility by up to 4-5 times relative to pure Mg, a finding that is attributed to the higher activity of non-basal dislocation slip.
