- The addition of 2 at.% Dy to Ti-Al system leads to the formation of the following phases: Ti (300), Ti (112), Ti3Al (402), Ti3Al (224), TiAl (301), DyAl2 (551), Dy (114), TiAl2 (Cmmm, orthorhombic), Dy3Al2 (P42nm, tetragonal), Dy3Al2 (3m, rhombohedral), Ti-Al (P4/mmm, tetragonal), Ti3Al (P63/mmc, hexagonal), Ti (Im-3m, cubic), Dy (P63/mmc, hexagonal), as well as Dy6Ti4Al43 (P63/mmc, hexagonal).
- The addition of 2 at % Ho to Ti-Al system leads to the formation of the following phases: TiAl2 (712), Ti3Al (004), Ho (114) Ho (203), HoAl3 (2215), HoAl2 (551), Ho3Al2 (P42nm, tetragonal), Ho6Ti4Al43 (P63/mmc, hexagonal), TiAl (P4/mmm, tetragonal) and Ti3Al (P63/mmc, hexagonal).
- A crystallographic database of stable and quasistable structures of the known elemental composition was created in the USPEX-SIESTA software by means of an evolutionary code. The calculations show that adding REM leads to a significant stabilizing effect in each Ti-Al-REM system without exception. It has been established that the lattice energies are equal to: EAl4Ti12Dy3 = −32,877.825 eV and EAl4Ti12Dy3 = −31,227.561 eV.
- The differences and commonality in the three-component TAD and TAH phase diagrams calculated using the Materials Project open database at a temperature of 1150 °C have been considered. The presence of ternary phases Dy₆Ti₄Al₄₃ and Ho₆Ti₄Al₄₃ with common faces MeAl3-Me₆Ti₄Al₄₃-Al, TiAl3-Me₆Ti₄Al₄₃-Al and MeAl3-TiAl3-Dy₆Ti₄Al₄₃ (Me = Dy, Ho) has been shown.
- The properties for ternary Dy₆Ti₄Al₄₃ and Ho₆Ti₄Al₄₃ phases have been theoretically calculated. The Ho₆Ti₄Al₄₃ phase has large values of predicted formation energy, Total magnetization, volume, bond length. However, the density of such phase is less.
- The addition of 2 at.% Dy increases the value of microhardness (1.61 ± 0.08 GPa) as compared with the case of adding 2 at.% Ho (1.47 ± 0.07 GPa).
