The influence of the substitution of Al for Si on the structural stability and mechanical properties of D8₈-Ti₅Si₃ was determined using first-principles pseudopotential plane-wave methods based on density functional theory. Several parameters including formation enthalpies ((ΔH_f), cohesive energies (ΔE_coh), bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G),Poisson's ratio (ν), Cauchy's pressure (C₁₂-C₆₆,C₁₃-C₄₄), metallicity (f_m), and Peierls stress (τ_P-N) were calculated. To develop a better understanding of the effects of substitutional Al alloying on the toughness/brittleness of D8₈-Ti₅Si₃ from an electronic structure point of view the density of states, charge density differences and Mulliken population were determined. The results show that the intrinsic brittleness of D8₈-Ti₅Si₃ comes from strong covalent bonding between Ti^6g and Si^6g.When one or two Ti atoms occupy Si sites in the D8₈- Ti₅Si₃ crystal the intensity of covalent bonding between Ti^6g and Si^6g is reduced and the metallicity increases. This is accompanied by the presence of low intensity Al^6g―Si^6g, Ti^6g―Al^6g, and Ti4d―Al^6g bonds. However, when three Ti atoms occupy Si sites in the D8₈-Ti₅Si₃ crystal the Al^6g―Si^6g bonds disappear and the intensity of covalent bonding between Ti^6g and Si^6g increases leading to an increase in brittleness.
