Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of vacancy diffusion in non- dilute Ni-X (X=Re,W,Ta) alloys — •Maximilian Grabowski, Jutta Rogal, and Ralf Drautz — ICAMS, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, 44801 Bochum, Deutschland

The mobility of vacancies in alloys may limit dislocation climb which is important for high performance Ni-based superalloys. Using a combined density functional theory and kinetic Monte Carlo approach we investigate vacancy diffusion in Ni-Re, Ni-W, and Ni-Ta binary alloys up to 10 at.% solute concentration. We introduce an interaction model that takes into account the chemical environment close to the diffusing atom to capture the effect of solute-host and solute-solute interactions on the diffusion barriers. In contrast to an ideal solid solution it is not only the diffusion barrier of the solute atom that influences the vacancy mobility, but primarily the change in the host diffusion barriers due to the presence of solute atoms. This is evidenced by the fact that the observed vacancy slowdown as a function of solute concentration is larger in Ni-W than in Ni-Re, even though Re is a slower diffuser than W. To model diffusion in complex, non-dilute alloys an explicit treatment of interaction energies is thus unavoidable. In the context of Ni-based superalloys two conclusions can be drawn from our kinetic Monte Carlo simulations: the observed slowdown in vacancy mobility is not sufficient to be the sole cause for the so-called Re-effect; and assuming a direct correlation between vacancy mobility, dislocation climb, and creep strength the experimentally observed similar effect of W and Re in enhancing creep strength can be confirmed.
