Abstract: In this paper, the crystal structure, electronic structure and mechanical properties of intermediate alloy Mg13Al14 and Mg17Al12 were studied by first-principles method. The results show that the primitive cell structure of Mg13Al14 has no thermodynamic stability, but its conventional cell structure is thermodynamically stable and its stability is higher than that of Mg17Al12; Mg13Al14 and Mg17Al12 both have strong metallic properties, Mg17Al12 has higher structural stability, Mg13Al14 has no mechanical stability; Mg13Al14 is ductile material, and Mg17Al12 is brittle material. In addition, the ability to resist shear deformation of Mg13Al14’s conventional cell structure is stronger than Mg17Al12; Mg17Al12 has higher rigidity and stronger resistance to plastic deformation than Mg13Al14; both Mg13Al14 and Mg17Al12 exhibit elastic anisotropy. It is suggested that the general mechanical properties of Mg13Al14’s conventional structure are better than that of Mg17Al12, but the thermodynamics of the primitive cell is unstable. Consequently, comparing with Mg17Al12, Mg13Al14 is not conducive to improving the thermal stability of Mg-Al alloy.
