Abstract: Based on the first-principles method of density functional theory (DFT), the segregation behavior of Si, Ni, Mn, Cr, and Mo at the fcc-Fe/NbX (X=C, N) interface was studied, and the influence of alloying element segregation on interface system was analyzed. The results show that the bonding strength of the fcc-Fe/NbN interface is slightly improved compared to that of the fcc-Fe/NbC interface. Si exists stably in the Fe matrix, Ni and Mn have a slight tendency to segregate at the interface, and Cr and Mo segregate in the interface and NbX (X=C, N). Among them, Mo has a greater tendency to segregate toward the interface. The segregation of Cr and Mo at the fcc-Fe/NbC interface reduces the bonding ability of the interface to a certain extent, but the stability of the system is improved. The segregation of Cr and Mo at the fcc-Fe/NbN interface improves the bonding ability of the interface to a certain extent, but Mo reduces the stability of the system.
