Understanding strength-ductility enhancement in an oxygen-doped refractory high-entropy alloy by multi-scale characterization and DFT calculations
The strength-ductility tradeoff in refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) poses a significant challenge for their application in demanding environments. This study investigates the influence of oxygen interstitials on the tensile properties of a novel TiZrV0.5Nb0.5 alloy. The addition of 2 at. % oxygen significantly enhances the yield strength by 164 MPa, attributed to interstitial strengthening. Advanced characterization techniques, including transmission electron microscopy and Laue micro-beam diffraction, reveal that oxygen doping promotes dislocation cross-slip across different slip planes. First-principles calculations further demonstrate that oxygen increases the stacking fault energy (SFE) of the base alloy, facilitating dislocation cross-slip and thereby improving tensile ductility. This work highlights oxygen doping as a promising strategy to simultaneously enhance both strength and ductility in refractory high-entropy alloys.
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.
