| Abstract Scope |
Single-phase body-centered cubic refractory complex concentrated alloys (RCCAs), have the potential to succeed Ni-based superalloys as the next generation of materials for high strength, high temperature applications. However, a lack of room temperature tensile ductility, resulting in a susceptibility to cracking and premature mechanical failure, and the impracticality of manufacturing these strong high-temperature alloys, has hindered the application of these novel materials. This study designs RCCAs with tensile ductility amenable to laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) through density functional theory (DFT) screening to identify lower brittle-to-ductile-transition temperatures and Scheil solidification modeling to down-select for compositions with minimal micro-segregation and a resistance to hot-cracking. These alloys are evaluated for rapid solidification defect formation using in-situ synchrotron melt pool imaging, laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) AM fabrication, and mechanical testing. While printing defects were observed, tensile yield strengths exceeding 800 MPa and failure strains >5% were achieved, showing promise for these techniques. |
