Efficient and quantitatively accurate multiscale simulation of solid-solution strengthening by ab initio calculation
We propose an approach for the computationally efficient and quantitatively accurate prediction of solid-solution strengthening. It combines the 2-D Peierls-Nabarro model and a recently developed solid-solution strengthening model. Solid-solution strengthening is examined with Al-Mg and Al-Li as representative alloy systems, demonstrating a good agreement between theory and experiments within the temperature range in which the dislocation motion is overdamped. Through a parametric study, two guideline maps of the misfit parameters against (i) the critical resolved shear stress, tau0, at 0 K and (ii) the energy barrier, DEb, against dislocation motion in a solid solution with randomly distributed solute atoms are created. With these two guideline maps, tau0 at finite temperatures is predict

Ab initio study of compositional trends in solid solution strengthening in metals with low Peierls stresses
We identify and analyze general trends governing solid solution strengthening in binary alloys containing solutes across the Periodic table using quantum-mechanical calculations. Here we present calculations for the model system of Al binary solid solutions.
