Based on the design principle of searching for Ti-monoboride ceramic phases with higher Young’s modulus, higher Pugh’s ratio, and lower stacking fault energies compared to TiB, we compute the mechanical properties of monoborides with different compositions (X11−xX2x)B using density functional theory. Among all (X10.5X20.5)B, we find that mixed (Ti0.5Mo0.5)B and mixed (Ti0.5V0.5)B as promising candidates for metallic boride compositions for Ti-based alloys and bulk ceramics. Among these two ternary mixed monoborides, we focus on β-stabilizer Mo and study toughness of BCC phase Ti-Mo alloys to understand the effect of solutes on the plastic deformation. We calculate elastic constants, stacking fault energies and dislocation core geometries of non-dilute BCC Ti-Mo random alloys. Studies of dislocation core structures have relied on a variety of coupling techniques to manage the far-field strain fields; one very successful approach for pure materials has been the flexible boundary condition (FBC) method based on the lattice Green function. However, applying FBC to compute the dislocation core structures in systems with multiple components adds more complexity due to the initial atomic forces in the far-field where the atomic positions are not updated within the FBC framework.
