摘要	Creep resistance is one of the key properties of titanium (Ti) alloys for high temperature applications such as in aero engines and gas turbines. It has been widely recognized that moderate addition of Si, especially when added together with some other elements (X), e.g., Mo, significantly improves the creep resistance of Ti alloys. To provide some fundamental understandings on such a cooperative effect, the interactions between Si and X in both hexagonal close-packed a and body-centered cubic beta phases are systematically investigated by using a first-principles method. We show that the transition metal (TM) atoms with the number of d electrons (N-d) from 3 to 7 are attractive to Si in a phase whereas those with N-d > 8 and simple metal (SM) alloying atoms are repulsive to Si. All the alloying atoms repel Si in the beta phase except for the ones with fewer d electrons than Ti. The electronic structure origin underlying the Si-X interaction is discussed based on the calculated electronic density of states and Bader charge. Our calculations suggest that the beneficial X-Si cooperative effect on the creep resistance is attributable to the strong X-Si attraction.
