Study on the possibility of structure modification for ductilization of (Fe, Co, Ni)3 V

Abstract

To investigate the mechanism of structure modification for ductilization of (Fe, Co, Ni)3 V, the electronic structures and cohesive properties for the stoichiometric binary compounds Fe3 V, Co3 V and Ni3 V in their three possible types L12, D019, D022 have been calculated by using FLAPW approach. The work further extended to compounds (Coχ Ni1-χ)3 V and (Feχ Co1-χ)3 V for understanding the effect of ternary additions.
