| Abstract Scope |
Body centered cubic (BCC) refractory metal-based multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) are known for maintaining high yield strength at elevated temperatures, an important property for operation in extreme aerodynamic and aerothermal conditions. To exploit the enhanced mechanical properties, tailored MPEAs are needed with both strength and BCC stability sufficient for a given service requirement. However, strength and stability vary drastically with temperature, number of elements, and composition of elements. Through analytical calculations, we investigate virtually all MPEAs from the Al-Cr-Fe-Hf-Mo-Nb-Ta-Ti-V-W-Zr family with up to eleven elements to identify candidates with high yield strength or specific yield strength. These results are filtered with CALPHAD phase stability predictions to ensure sufficient BCC stability or metastability at high temperatures. Select compositions predicted to maintain high strength or specific strength and sufficient BCC stability are manufactured and mechanically tested to validate the tailored MPEA design process.
