First principles computation of composition dependent elastic constants of omega in titanium alloys: implications on mechanical behavior

Abstract For decades the poor mechanical properties of Ti alloys were attributed to the intrinsic brittleness of the hexagonal ω-phase that has fewer than 5-independent slip systems. We contradict this conventional wisdom by coupling first-principles and cluster expansion calculations with experimen...
