Abstract

In order to clarify the phase stability of E21-type intermetallic carbides, the maximum solid solubility of carbon in Ni3AlC1-x was evaluated by taking into account the strain energy and the chemical energy for the formation of the Ni6C cluster (EM6C). It was found that the maximum carbon content calculated was 0 at.%C at EM6C≥0, 3.5 at.%C at EM6C = -5 kJ/mol, 6.5 at.%C at EM6C = -10 kJ/mol, 10 at.%C at EM6C = -15 kJ/mol and 13 at.%C at EM6C = -20 kJ/mol, respectively. Experimentally determined maximum carbon contents in Ni3Al in the literature can be explained when EM6C is ranged from -5 to -15 kJ/mol, and the solid solubility is found to be sensitive to EM6C. The attractive interaction between Ni and C seems to be due to covalent bonding. Similar attractive chemical interaction between transition metals and carbon must stabilize E21 phases.
