A series of TaNbVTiAlx (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0) refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) with high specific strength and reasonable plasticity were prepared using powder metallurgy (P/M) technology. This paper studied their microstructure and compression properties. The results show that all the TaNbVTiAlx RHEAs exhibited a single BCC solid solution microstructure with no elemental segregation. The P/M TaNbVTiAlx RHEAs showed excellent room-temperature specific strength (207.11 MPa*cm3/g) and high-temperature specific strength (88.37 MPa*cm3/g at 900 °C and 16.03 MPa*cm3/g at 1200 °C), with reasonable plasticity, suggesting that these RHEAs have potential to be applied at temperatures >1200 °C. The reasons for the excellent mechanical properties of P/M TaNbVTiAl0.2 RHEA were the uniform microstructure and solid solution strengthening effect.

Solution Strengthening

In high entropy alloys (HEAs), the addition of large-size atoms results in lattice distortion and further leads to solid solution strengthening or precipitation strengthening. However, the relationship between atomic radius, solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening has not been discerned yet. In this work, CoCrFeNiX0.4 (X = Al, Nb, Ta, with an equi-atomic radius) HEAs were prepared by powder plasma arc additive manufacturing (PPA-AM) and evaluated for their mechanical properties. Compression and nano-indentation hardness tests showed that the HEA with Ta showed the best properties. The influence of atomic radius and solid solubility on solid solution strengthening was investigated and the main strengthening mechanism that determines the mechanical properties of the developed HEAs was analyzed. The results showed that (i) the CoCrFeNiAl0.4 alloy did not show any solid solution strengthening effect and that a clear relation between solid solution strengthening and atomic size was not observed; (ii) in both CoCrFeNiTa0.4 and CoCrFeNiNb0.4 HEAs, precipitation strengthening and grain boundary strengthening effects are observed, wherein the difference in mechanical properties between both the alloys can be mainly attributed to the formation of fine eutectic structure in CoCrFeNiTa0.4; and (iii) from the microstructural analyses, it was identified that, in the CoCrFeNiTa0.4 HEA, the location containing a fine eutectic structure is accompanied by the formation of low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs), which is also the region where deformed grains gather, giving rise to improved mechanical strengthening.

High entropy alloys (HEAs) with face-centered cubic (fcc) structure, namely equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi alloy, have attracted considerable attention because of impressive cryogenic mechanical properties – strength, ductility, and fracture toughness. Further increase of the properties can be achieved, for example, by proper alloying. A particularly attractive option is the addition of interstitial elements like carbon or nitrogen. In present work, a series of CoCrFeMnNi-based alloys with different amounts of C and N (0-2 at.%) was prepared by induction melting. The alloys doped with C had lower Cr content to increase the solubility of carbon in the fcc solid solution. It was revealed that the solid solution strengthening effect of both C and N is significantly increased when the testing temperature decreases from 293K to 77K. The effect of thermomechanical processing on the structure and mechanical properties of the alloys is analyzed.

ABSTRACTSubstantial solid solution strengthening of GaAs by In acting as InAs4 units has recently been predicted. This strengthening could account for the reduction of dislocation density in GaAs single crystals grown from the melt. High temperature hardness measurements up to 700ºC have been carried out on (100) GaAs and Ga0.9975 In0.0025 As wafers. Results show a significant strengthening effect in In—doped GaAs even at concentration levels of about 0.2 wt%. A temperature independent flow stress region is observed for both these alloys. The In—doped GaAs shows ahigher plateau stress level compared to the undoped GaAs. The results are consistent with the solid solution strengthening model.

AbstractTwo types of aluminum–titanium–iron–vanadium ( Al–Ti–Fe–V ) quarternary intermetallic compounds have been prepared by arc melting under argon atmosphere. Their compositions were nominally Al66Ti25Fe6V3 and Al66Ti25Fe3V6. These alloys are based on the iron–modified titanium trialuminide with L12 cubic structure. Vanadium addition up to about 6 mol% did not destroy the cubic symmetry, and L12 solid solution compounds were produced in these two Al–Ti–Fe–V quarternary alloys. Microstructure and mechanical properties have been investigated. It has been demonstrated that vanadium addition to iron–modified L12 titanium trialuminides can enhance their strength.
