Abstract
In this study, seven refractory high-entropy alloys of Al x (Nb3TaTi3Zr)100-x (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) were synthesized by vacuum arc melting and characterized by various techniques, including XRD, SEM, EDS, compression tests at both 1200 °C and room temperature, as well as hardness tests. The analysis revealed that the alloys exhibit a single BCC structure when the Al content is between 0 and 15%, while the B2 phase appears at 20% and a mixed structure of BCC + B2 + σ phase at 30%. As the Al content increases, the hardness, stiffness, and room temperature yield strength of the alloy increases, while the plasticity decreases. Notably, the alloy with 25% Al content displayed the highest yield strength of 1400 MPa and Young’s modulus of 75.94 GPa at room temperature. Moreover, the hardness of the seven alloys increased from 247 HV to 490 HV with Al content from 0 to 30%. Furthermore, the alloy containing 30% Al exhibited a notable elevated-temperature yield strength of 143 MPa at 1200 °C.
