Abstract Scope |
We investigate two high-entropy alloys (HEAs), CoCuFeNiPd and CoCuFeNiTi, using a combination of Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. Our results show that CoCuFeNiPd exhibits much stronger atomic segregation and short-range ordering (SRO) than CoCuFeNiTi, despite the larger differences in the relative atomic size and electronegativity of Ti with other constituent elements, as compared to Pd, suggesting that the differences in atomic size and electronegativity alone are insufficient to explain the difference. We find that it is the chemical-affinity disparity and exclusivity between Ti (Pd) with the remaining species that lead to the different SRO and cluster formation in these two HEAs. We also examine their mechanical properties at different degrees of SRO and find that SRO and cluster formation are able to enhance yielding strength without sacrificing ductility. Our findings are consistent with existing experiments, and highlight the importance of SRO in influencing the mechanical properties of HEAs. |
