| Abstract | The thermodynamic stability and mechanical strength of grain boundaries (GBs) govern many key properties of nanocrystalline or polycrystalline metals. In order to design novel Cu-based alloys with extraordinary properties and broaden the application scopes of Cu alloys, it is essential to clarify the effects of GB structure and composition on the stability and cohesion of Cu GBs. Firstly, the GB energies and works of separation of 12 Cu symmetrical tilt GBs with various GB orientations were figured out by using first-principles calculations, to link the GB properties with structures. Our results shown that the GB energies and works of separation of 12 Cu GBs are notably anisotropic. The GB energies for these GBs have an inverted and linear relationship with their works of separation. As to GB composition, the segregation tendencies of 8 alloying elements (Mg, Ca, Cr, Ni, Zn, Zr, Ag and Sn) in the Cu Sigma 5 [001](210) symmetrical tilt GB and their cohesive and embrittling effects on the GB were studied. It was found that all considered solutes excluding the element Ni can segregate to the Cu GB and thus play stabilizing roles into the Cu GB. Among 8 solutes, only the Zr and Cr segregations can improve the thermodynamic stability and fracture strength of Cu GB simultaneously. The GB strengthening effects of Zr and Cr segregations was attributed to their significant chemical contributions to the embrittling potencies, i.e., the presence of covalent-like bonding features in newly-formed Cu-Zr/Cr bonds. The reduction/increase of antibonding/bonding states below the Fermi level in Cu-Zr/Cr atomic pairs should be responsible for the GB stabilizing effects of Zr and Cr segregations. |
