Abstract
Recent surging interest in strengthening of High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) with possible chemical ordering motivates the development of new theory. Here, an existing theory for random alloys that accounts for solute-dislocation and solute–solute interactions is extended to include strengthening due to short-range order (SRO). Closed form expressions are presented for the yield strength and energy barrier of dislocation motion in alloys with SRO based on inputs of atomic misfit volumes, average lattice and elastic constants, the SRO parameters, and effective pair interactions between solutes. The theory shows both the long-established athermal strengthening effect of SRO as well as a notable effect of SRO on the misfit volume strengthening, which can increase or decrease strength. The generalized solute-strengthening theory is the most comprehensive to date that is applicable to macroscopically homogeneous single-phase alloys using inputs that can be measured, computed, or estimated.
期刊介绍:
Acta Materialia serves as a platform for publishing full-length, original papers and commissioned overviews that contribute to a profound understanding of the correlation between the processing, structure, and properties of inorganic materials. The journal seeks papers with high impact potential or those that significantly propel the field forward. The scope includes the atomic and molecular arrangements, chemical and electronic structures, and microstructure of materials, focusing on their mechanical or functional behavior across all length scales, including nanostructures.
