The Ni-Al alloys which exhibit the thermoelastic phase transformations in the composition range from 60 to 65 atomic percentage of Ni are widely used in the high technology applications. In this study, thermoelastic phase transformations of Ni-37.5 at.% Al alloys at 0, 1 and 2 GPa pressures were investigated by using MD simulation. Physical interactions among atoms in the alloy system were modelled using Sutton-Chen version of the embedded atom method based on many-body interactions. The potential parameters for cross interactions between Ni and Al atoms were estimated by optimising the results obtained from the molecular dynamics simulations. Moreover, the effect of applied pressure on transformation temperatures, enthalpy, entropy and elastic energy of model alloy system were investigated. The obtained result showed that the transformation temperature increased with applied pressure while enthalpy, entropy and elastic energy decreased. The values of the thermodynamical parameters that obtained in this study are in very good agreement with results of experimental studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
