Abstract
Refractory complex concentrated alloys (RCCAs) comprising refractory metals, are potential candidates for high-temperature applications. The compositional screening of a suitable alloy is very challenging due to the vast compositional space of complex concentrated alloys (CCAs). To address this issue, an integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) framework consisting of detailed CALPHAD (CALculation of PHase Diagram) modeling was adopted to design non-equiatomic Ti/Zr/Mo/Al CCAs. The one-axis equilibrium diagram reveals that Ti40Zr40Mo10Al10 (at. %) exhibits predominantly a single-phase BCC structure over the wide temperature range (860–1660 °C). The alloy was fabricated using laser based directed energy deposition technique. The detailed characterization of as-printed samples revealed the formation of equiaxed grains along build direction with single phase BCC microstructure. Due to the high fraction of porosities, the as-printed alloy was subjected to hot isostatic pressing treatment that resulted in near complete densification of the printed alloy and led to the precipitation of A3B type precipitates and B2 nano clusters as evidenced by TEM and APT techniques. Finite element (FE) based multilayer and multitrack thermokinetic model approach was considered to seek an insight into the grain morphology evolution during additive manufacturing of these alloys.
