ABSTRACT We employ first-principles calculations to examine the role of oxidation on the thermal expansion behaviour of a refractory multicomponent alloy. Our results reveal that the linear expansion and the coefficient of volumetric expansion over a range of temperatures have higher values for the oxidised alloy than the pure material. The enhanced expansion for the oxidised alloy is attributed to significant changes in the lattice parameter of the alloy upon surface oxidation. During oxidation, the diffusion of oxygen atoms to the subsurface layer of the alloy after complete surface coverage produces a displacement of the constituent elements that form metal oxides. This depletion creates vacancy sites in the lattice for enabling enhanced expansivity in the oxidised structure relative to the pure refractory alloy.
