Popis: The effect of point defects on the shear rupture resistance in titanium aluminide is investigated by the density functional theory and pseudopotential methods. Vacancies, as well as substitution atoms – tungsten and chromium were considered as points defects. The shear was simulated in the(111) slip plane for two directions, namely [110] and [11-2]. It is shown that for a {111} sliding system, vacancies significantly reduce the shear resistance. However, when alloying element occupies a titanium vacancy, it can partially compensate for this negative effect.
