Abstract

The single-phase TiNbZrMox (x = 0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were prepared by arc melting. The relation between molybdenum, microstructure, mechanical properties and wear resistance was investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), universal tensile tester, hardness tester, friction tester, and wear tester. The results showed that TiNbZrMox alloys were composed of a single BCC phase. With the increase of Mo elements, the crystallite size of the as-cast alloy decreased first and then increased, both the alloy strength and hardness were increased and compressive strain plasticity was decreased. TiNbZrMo0.5 has the best comprehensive performance with a yield strength of 1.0 GPa, compressive strength of 1.3 GPa, and hardness of 429 HV; compared with TiNbZrMo0, yield strength increased by 77.32%, compressive strength increased by 25.14%, and hardness increased by 70.24%; and its specific wear rate decreased by 50%, while it’s compressive plasticity only decreased by 5%.
