To investigate the comprehensive effects of the Al and Zr element contents on the microstructure evolution of the AlNbTiVZr series light-weight refractory high entropy alloys (HEAs), five samples were studied. Samples with different compositions were designated Al1.5NbTiVZr, Al1.5NbTiVZr0.5, AlNbTiVZr, AlNbTiVZr0.5, and Al0.5NbTiVZr0.5. The results...

Context 1
... as the Zr element content increases, the dark phase tends to be separated by the bright phase, and the grain boundary gradually becomes spherical with a cellular structure, indicating that both the Al and Zr elements influence the phase structure of AlNbTiVZr HEAs. Table 2 provide insights into the element distribution and corresponding actual chemical element content of each HEA sample. As shown in Figure 3, the attractive interaction between the Al and Zr atoms exhibits the highest affinity among the five principal elements in AlNbTiVZr HEAs, which indicates a greater propensity for solution formation within this specific bond. ...Context 2
... positive mixing enthalpy means that the chemical bond suppresses the formation of the ordered configuration, while the negative values favor the formation of an ordered configuration. Hence, during the non-equilibrium solidification caused by the rapid cooling rate of the VAM process, Table 2 provide insights into the element distribution and corresponding actual chemical element content of each HEA sample. As shown in Figure 3, the attractive interaction between the Al and Zr atoms exhibits the highest affinity among the five principal elements in AlNbTiVZr HEAs, which indicates a greater propensity for solution formation within this specific bond. ...Similar publications

This study investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of AlNbTiVZr series high-entropy alloys (HEAs) through both experimental studies and density functional theory calculations. Significant improvements in the microstructures and mechanical properties were achieved for the AlNbTiVZr series HEAs by meticulously adjusting the alloy composition and employing homogenization heat treatment. Notably, the specimen designated as Al0.5NbTiVZr0.5 demonstrated excellent mechanical properties including a compressive yield strength of 1162 MPa and a compressive strength of 1783 MPa. After homogenization heat treatment at 1000 °C for 24 h, the Al0.5NbTiVZr0.5 alloy exhibits brittle-to-ductile transition. Further atomic-scale theoretical simulations reveal that the decrease of Al content intrinsically enhances the ductility of the alloys, thereby indicating that the mechanical properties of the AlNbTiVZr series HEAs were significantly influenced by the chemical composition. Additionally, specific atomic pair formations were observed to adversely affect the microstructure of the AlNbTiVZr series HEAs, particularly in terms of ductility. These findings provide valuable insights for the design and optimization of light weight HEAs, emphasizing the synergistic adjustment of alloy composition and heat treatment processes to achieve a balance between the strength and ductility.
