摘要
A study was conducted to demonstrate the use of first principles density functional theory calculations, to investigate the elastic properties of the Tin+1AlXn(X=N,C) series as a function of n. The main objective of the study was, to identify optimum compositions that combine better machinability with high stiffness. The investigations considered Ti n+1AlXn system and reported calculated elastic constants, along with moduli for the stoichiometries n to 4. It was found that majority of the transition occurs between the 211 phase and the TiAl intermetallic, with relatively small variations across the MAX members, suggesting that the in-plane periodicity is dominated by the carbide/nitride slab. It was also observed that the MX slab is a stable structure that is unable to be influenced by Al layers.
