Abstract
Conventional superalloys offer excellent high-temperature strength (HTS), oxidation resistance, and good room-temperature (RT) tensile ductility, however, at the expense of either increased density or high material costs. Here, we present a lightweight (7.53 g/cc) Ni30Co30Cr15V10Fe5Al5Ti2.5Si2.5 (at. %) high entropy superalloy (Ni-HESA) that achieves a remarkable strength-ductility synergy at RT (1296 MPa, 40 %), excellent HTS (600 MPa at 800 °C), and isothermal oxidation resistance at 900 °C for 96 h exposure (parabolic oxidation coefficient ∼3.693 × 10–4 mg2cm-4s-1) in its most microstructurally complex state. This microstructural complexity in Ni-HESA arises from the presence of γ′ (L12Ni3(Si, Ti) type) precipitate, annealing twins, and grain size modality within the γ-f.c.c. matrix. These features enhance RT work hardenability through back-stress strengthening while ensuring substantial microstructural stability at elevated temperatures, thereby improving both strength and oxidation resistance. The aforementioned property profile of Ni-HESA positions it as a promising superalloy for high-temperature applications, offering enhanced fuel efficiency.
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.
