Abstract Scope |
Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are composed of refractory elements with high melting points, offering exceptional high temperature strength and heat resistance. However, their widespread application is limited by high density and the tendency to form thermally unstable oxides, which compromise structural integrity at elevated temperatures. In this study, a lightweight and oxidation-resistant AlVCrZrNb RHEA was designed to overcome these limitations. And the Nb content was systematically varied to optimize high-temperature strength while minimizing the formation of unstable oxides. Alloying between elements with markedly different melting points was achieved via a powder metallurgy process. The resulting mechanical performance and oxidation behavior were investigated in relation to microstructural evolution. Especially, the correlation between lattice distortion and interfacial coherence with properties was analyzed at atomic scale. This study will provide insights into how microstructural evolution induced by varying Nb fractions influences the oxidation behavior and mechanical performance. |
