Abstract
A design concept for lightweight, ultra-strong, and thermally stable eutectic high-entropy alloy with low-mismatch coherent or semi-coherent interfaces and high interfacial binding energies, consisting of L21 and BCC phases, has been proposed. Based on this concept, we increased the content of low-cost, low-density Al/Ti elements in the alloy composition and reduced the expensive V content, resulting in the design of Al25Ni30Ti20V25 eutectic high-entropy alloy. These alloys exhibit a significantly lower density of 5.312 g/cm3 and good room-temperature compressive mechanical properties (yield strength of 1625.24 ± 49.07 MPa, fracture strength of 2332.76 ± 54.58 MPa, and compressive strain of 18.25 ± 0.32 %). Additionally, they exhibit a significant advantage in specific yield strength (306 MPa cm3/g).
