| Abstract Scope |
High entropy alloys exhibit a range of intriguing characteristics, including excellent mechanical strength, good ductility, high corrosion resistance, and good thermal stability. These alloys often possess enhanced wear resistance, high-temperature stability, and the ability to maintain their properties under extreme conditions. Nevertheless, achieving single-phase structures with more than five elements is a challenge. In this study, a novel high entropy alloy, Ti10V5Al30Nb20Mo25Cu10, has been designed using thermodynamic calculations and produced by arc-melting. Mechanical properties were measured by hardness, nano-indentation, and compression tests. Hardness and elastic modulus values estimated by nanoindentation test were found to be 1155 HV and 222 Gpa. The effect of corresponding heat treatment on the mechanical properties and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and will be discussed in details. |
