Abstract
Structure and mechanical properties of the AlNbTiVZrx (x = 0; 0.1; 0.25; 0.5; 1; 1.5) refractory high-entropy alloys were investigated after arc melting and annealing at 1200 °C for 24 h. The AlNbTiV alloy had a B2 ordered single phase structure. Alloying with Zr resulted in (i) change of the degree of order of the B2 phase; and (ii) precipitation of the Zr5Al3 and C14 Laves ZrAlV phases. The density of the AlNbTiVZrx alloys varied from 5590 kg mâ3 for the AlNbTiV alloy to 5870 kg mâ3 for the AlNbTiVZr1.5 alloy. The compression yield strength at 22 °C increased with an increase in the Zr content from 1000 MPa for the AlNbTiV alloy to 1535 MPa for the AlNbTiVZr1.5 alloy. The plasticity raised from 6% for the AlNbTiV alloy to >50% for the AlNbTiVZr0.5 alloy and then dropped to 0.4% for the AlNbTiVZr1.5 alloy. At 600 °C, the strongest alloy was also the AlNbTiVZr1.5, whereas, at 800 °C, the AlNbTiVZr0.1 alloy demonstrated the maximum strength. The plasticity of the AlNbTiV alloy at 600 °C increased up to 14.3%, while the Zr-containing alloys had lower plasticity. At 800 °C, all the AlNbTiVZrx alloys could be plastically deformed up to 50% of strain without fracture. Ordering in the alloys and the reasons of a complicated dependence of mechanical properties of the AlNbTiVZrx alloys on the Zr content and temperature were discussed.
