theta-Al13Fe4 forms as a primary Fe-intermetallic compound (Fe-IMC) in the casting processes of most Al alloys. Si is added to Al alloys to improve the mechanical performance of products. Fe-IMCs including (Si doped) theta-Al13Fe4 have nontrivial impacts on the mechanical performances of the solidified Al-based components. Here, we investigate systematically Si solution in theta-Al13Fe4 using ab initio density functional theory (DFT). We reveal that Si prefers substitution on two Al sites (Al9 and Al8) in theta-Al13Fe4, forming theta-Al-70(Si,Al)(IX)(4)(Al,Si)Fe-VIII(4)24 (the Roman numerals represent the Al sites (Grin et al., 1994) [13]). The calculations identify a linear relation between the lattice parameters of the unit cell and the Si content. The knowledge obtained here is useful to get insight into the formation and structural and chemical properties of the Fe-Al-Si intermetallic compounds and to optimize the microstructures and properties of the solidified Al based alloys.
