Role of Various Parameters in the Formation of the Physicomechanical Properties of High-Entropy Alloys with BCC Lattices

Resumo

An analysis of simple structures of the solid-solution non-ordered high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with a bcc crystal lattice has allowed us to determine the effect of various parameters on their physicomechanical properties. It was found that, as the hardness increases, the size mismatch results in a decrease in the modulus of elasticity; however, the normalized hardness characteristic increases. It has been found that, when the enthalpy of mixing of the bcc high-entropy alloys shifts to negative values, its effect on the hardness and modulus of elasticity is nonmonotonic. A formula for calculating the modulus of elasticity of high-entropy alloys with a bcc structure has been suggested that is based on the alloy composition and role of the most refractory metallic component.
