The compositional-dependent phase engineering in TiZrHfNbx multi-principal element alloy
Phase engineering of Ti-/Zr-/Hf- alloys is critical for next-generation structural materials, yet the lack of understanding of composition-driven phase evolution and its kinetics impedes their design. This study investigates the phase transition pathways and kinetics in TiZrHfNbx (x = 0–0.4) alloys, revealing the influence of Nb content on phase stability and transition mechanisms. Multi-scale analyses have proven that Nb addition drives HCP (α)→BCC (β) transition, lowering α→β temperature while increasing activation energy. Two distinct transition pathways, β→α (Burgers mechanism) and β→ω (collapse mechanism), are identified. Intermediate ω-phase precipitation occurs via two modes: quenched athermal (ωath) through a diffusionless process, and aged isothermal (ωiso) companied with solute redistribution. A quantitative correlation between composition, phase constitution, and kinetics is established, providing insights into nonequilibrium phase transitions in multicomponent alloys. The reported phase transition mechanisms involving BCC↔HCP / BCC↔ω offering a framework for phase engineering in TiZrHfNb-based systems.
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.
