Microstructure and mechanical properties of refractory high-entropy alloys of NbTaZrMox system
Herein, we describe a study where thermodynamic phase diagram calculations were used to design a material whose composition would afford high strength and plasticity. To this end, several NbTaZrMox (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) were prepared using a vacuum arc melting process. The experimental results showed that the NbTaZrMox RHEAs was mainly composed of Ta, Mo, Nb-rich BCC1 phase and Zr-rich BCC2 phase, and the microstructure is typical dendrite state. With the increase of Mo content, the hardness and room temperature yield strength of the alloy improved. The room temperature compressive yield strength of the Mo0.8 alloy was 1569 MPa, which was about 1.8 times greater than the equimolar NbTaZr alloy, while room temperature plasticity was maintained at 20 %. The excellent strength of the alloy was mainly the result of the effect of solid solution strengthening.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.
