Abstract Scope |
Single-phase solid-solution refractory high-entropy-alloys (HEAs) show remarkable mechanical properties, such as high yield strength with significant softening resistance at elevated temperatures. Hence, the in-depth study of the deformation behavior for body-centered-cubic (BCC) refractory HEAs is a critical issue to explore the uncovered/unique deformation mechanisms. We have investigated the elastic- and plastic-deformation behaviors of a single BCC NbTaTiV refractory HEA at elevated temperatures, using integrated experimental efforts and theoretical calculations. The in-situ neutron-diffraction results reveal a transition of the elastic-deformation feature from isotropic to anisotropic modes at elevated temperatures. The single-crystal elastic-moduli and macroscopic Young’s, shear and bulk moduli were determined from the in-situ neutron diffraction, showing the great agreement with first-principles calculations, machine-learning, and resonant-ultrasound spectroscopy results. Furthermore, the edge-dislocation-dominant plastic-deformation behavior, which is different from conventional BCC alloys, have been quantitatively described by the Williamson-Hall plot profile modeling. These results are further experimentally verified by the high-angle-annular-dark-field scanning-transmission-electron-microscopy (STEM). |
