Abstract Scope |
BCC high entropy alloys show exceptional strengths up to 1900K. Fundamental understanding of the mechanisms that control strengthening is necessary to formulate theories that enable screening over the immense compositional HEA space. Supported by the recent experimental findings in NbTaTiV and CrMoNbV alloys, we show with theory that edge dislocations can control the yield strength in BCC high entropy alloys. The theory of edge dislocation strengthening is based on the interaction of the edge dislocations with the random field of solutes in the HEAs. Theory rationalizes and captures a broad range of experiments on BCC alloys. The theory is cast in an analytical form that is parameter-free and depends on physical quantities (alloy concentrations, lattice parameter, elastic constants, misfit volumes) that can be determined ab-initio or experimentally. The reduced theory enables screening over 10 million compositions in the whole Al-Cr-Mo-Nb-Ta-W-V-Ti-Zr-Hf alloy family to find the strongest BCC HEAs. |
