Abstract
Refractory alloys with high-temperature softening resistance are crucial for extreme high-temperature components in aerospace and weapon equipment. Traditional alloys and single-phase refractory high-entropy alloys suffer from unstable microstructures and loss of strength at high temperatures. Here we report a strategy to obtain a superior strong high-entropy alloy by introducing carbides to form micro-nano scale eutectic and eutectoid structures. These metal-carbide interfaces remain stable under high-temperature deformation and exhibit strong dislocation blocking effects. The ultrafine eutectoid structure provides a primary strengthening effect due to its numerous enhanced phase interfaces. The resulting alloy achieves a high temperature yield strength of 1.17 GPa at 1473 K and 0.92 GPa at 1673 K. This work provides valuable insights for optimizing the high-temperature performance and microstructure design of high-temperature composites to further extend their potential applications in high-temperature areas.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
