| Abstract Scope |
High entropy alloys have been of growing interest for structural, aerospace, and nuclear applications ever since they were first conceptualised in 2004. A few of the documented properties that highlight them as potential candidates for these industries include high strength, corrosion resistance and potential radiation damage resistance. The TiZrNbHfTa high entropy alloy has been the subject of multiple reports exploring high temperature structural applications, although a surprising lack of previous literature on radiation damage and recombination effects is noted. To account for this, computational methods have been implemented to provide a mechanistic understanding of how this system can be expected to perform during, and how it may recover from, radiation damage events. The results of this analysis will act as a basis on which an experimental irradiation study will be planned, thus working to validate the computational model, and establishing the potential of this system as a nuclear material. |
