| Abstract Scope |
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) offer exceptional microstructural stability and tunable mechanical properties, making them promising for superelastic applications. However, in Zr–Ti–Cu–Ni-Al systems, the link between high configurational entropy and martensitic transformation kinetics—which governs recoverable strain—remains poorly understood. This study systematically examines how entropy driven phase stabilization affects transformation temperatures, microstructure evolution, and deformation mechanisms in a Zr–Ti–Cu–Ni-Al high-entropy alloy. We reveal the role of alloying additions in tuning superelastic recoverability and the stability of the superelastic response over a wide temperature range. Our findings provide new insights into entropy mediated martensitic transformations and have important implications for developing multicomponent alloys with enhanced superelasticity and transformation induced plasticity (TRIP). |
