Abstract

In this paper, four W–Os alloys are designed, namely W0.9375Os0.0625, W0.875Os0.125, W0.8125Os0.1875, and W0.75Os0.25alloys. Based on the analysis of the formation enthalpy and phonon spectrum, the W0.8125Os0.1875and W0.75Os0.25alloys are thermodynamically unstable. Therefore, this paper only studies the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of pure W, W0.9375Os0.0625, and W0.875Os0.125alloys. The results show that W0.9375Os0.0625and W0.875Os0.125alloys still keep the cubic crystal system, and the lattice constants of pure W are reduced by doping Os. Based on the mechanical parameter analysis, the doping of Os reduces the stiffness of pure tungsten, but improves its strength. TheB/Gratios of W0.9375Os0.0625and W0.875Os0.125alloys are higher than that of pure W, which indicates that Os doping can increase the ductility of pure tungsten. The W0.875Os0.125alloy has anisotropic characteristics. However, the W0.9375Os0.0625alloy has isotropic characteristics, which also shows that Os doping can improve the anisotropy of pure tungsten.Graphical abstract
