However, TiZrHfNb-based refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are prone to suffer from surface cracking during high-temperature oxidation processes, which is a common outcome observed in the high-temperature oxidation behavior of titanium alloys. This study introduces a novel approach to mitigate high-temperature oxidation cracking in the TiZrHfNbAl<sub>0.5</sub> RHEA by leveraging the synergistic effects of Y-alloying and precise oxidation control. It's found that surface cracking observed in the TiZrHfNbAl<sub>0.5</sub> RHEA following oxidation at 1000 °C is primarily attributed to the formation of needle-like (ZrHf)O<sub>2</sub> within the oxide layer. By combining Y-doping and an oxidation treatment at 1000 °C for 8 min, the generation of (ZrHf)O<sub>2</sub> is effectively suppressed, while a dispersion Y-Al-rich oxides is promoted, thereby creating a pinning effect that results in the formation of a crack-free oxide coating. Consequently, the oxidized TiZrHfNbAl<sub>0.5</sub>Y<sub>0.1</sub> RHEA exhibits a wear rate that is two orders of magnitude lower and a corrosion current density that is one order of magnitude lower than those of the Ti6Al4V (wt%) alloy. A systematic analysis is also carried out to elucidate the oxidation mechanism underpinning this exceptionally wear- and corrosion-resistant RHEA.

The research results are contributive to improve the application of CdTe detectors in the filed of nuclear radiation detection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22009,"journal":{"name":"Surface & Coatings Technology","volume":"497 ","pages":"Article 131776"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143142873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
