摘要

As oil and gas pipeline technology progresses, the demand for materials with enhanced strength and environmental resilience continues to grow. This study utilizes first-principles calculations to investigate the adsorption behavior and interfacial characteristics of Fe atoms on the (Ti, Mo)C surface at the initial stage of nucleation following Mo doping. Results reveal that the adsorption energy is highest on the (001) surface of (Ti,Mo)C, where Mo atoms replace Ti atoms, due to Mo’s higher metallic character. At the L2 layer (the second layer of the interface layer) of the (Ti,Mo)C/Fe interface, a covalent bond forms between C and Fe, while a strong metallic bond develops between Mo and Fe. This bonding configuration significantly enhances the interfacial strength and stability, as evidenced by a lower density of states at the Fermi level compared to the undoped interface, contributing to a more stable overall structure. Mo addition improves the TiC surface’s capacity to adsorb Fe atoms during the initial stage of austenite formation and increases interface stability post-formation. These findings provide a foundation for further understanding the Ti-Mo composite strengthening mechanism in microalloyed steels.
