Abstract Scope |
Epitaxially grown refractory multi-principal element alloys (RMPEA) thin films with compositions NbxMo1-x and (VNbTa)xMo1-x are characterized by microcantilever beam bending to compare plastic deformability and crack propagation as a function of composition. RMPEAs containing Group VI elements are known to have poor tensile ductility in bulk samples, but data is mostly limited to equiatomic compositions. This study uses a more focused approach to analyze how the of Mo affects mechanical properties when added to Nb and VNbTa (a Group V RMPEA). Homogenized RMPEA thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering can be quickly produced across a range of compositions with well controlled microstructures. This study advances understanding of compositional impacts on RHEA performance, opening pathways for optimized alloy design. |
