Popis: Stronger and more resistant alloys are required in order to increase the performance and efficiency of jet engines and gas turbines. This will eventually require planar faults engineering, or a complete understanding of the effects of composition and temperature on the various planar faults that arise as a result of shearing of the $$\gamma ^\prime $$ precipitates. In the current study, a combined scheme consisting of the density functional theory, the quasi-harmonic Debye model, and the axial Ising model, in conjunction with a quasistatic approach is used to assess the effects of composition and temperature of a series of pseudo-binary alloys based on the $$({\mathrm{Ni}}_{75-x}{\mathrm{X}}_{x}){\mathrm{Al}}_{25}$$ system using distinct relaxation schemes to assess observed differences. Our calculations reveal that the (111) superlattice intrinsic stacking fault energies in these systems decline modestly with temperature between $$0\,$$ K and $$1000\,$$ K.
