The Influence of Different Factors on Physicomechanical Properties of High Entropy Alloys with fcc Lattice

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

The influence of electron concentration, mixing enthalpy, and dimensional mismatch on the lattice parameter, elastic modulus, and normalized hardness of fcc high-entropy alloys (HEA) is studied. The lattice parameter, which determines the elastic modulus of HEA, is influenced by both the electron concentration and the mixing enthalpy. A rectilinear dependence of the normalized hardness of these alloys on the dimensional discrepancy is established. Formulas for calculating the hardness and the elastic modulus for hard-soluble HEA with fcc lattice are proposed.
