Abstract
The present study investigated how the addition of Mo, within a carefully designed alloy composition, regulated the properties of Al0.3NbTiZrMox refractory high-entropy alloys. A thorough analysis of the microstructure of the resultant alloys and comprehensive tests on hardness, friction, wear, and electrochemical corrosion were performed. Results revealed that Mo plays a crucial role in promoting the formation of a BCC + HCP phase and in refining the alloy's grain structure. In addition, increasing Mo content led to higher hardness and improved wear resistance, primarily driven by solution strengthening, dislocation strengthening, and fine crystal strengthening. At the same time, the increase in Mo content was greatly conducive to the improvement of corrosion resistance due to the increase in phase transformation, composition homogenization, grain refinement, and the presence of Mo-passivation film.
