Temperature dependence of elastic moduli in a refractory HfNbTaTiZr high-entropy alloy
Résumé
The equiatomic HfNbTaTiZr solid solution is currently regarded as a model disordered body-centered cubic high-entropy alloy. Therefore, the temperature dependence of its elastic moduli is of prime importance to improve our understanding of the mechanical properties of this refractory alloy. In this study, the alloy was found to be single phase, fully recrystallized with a slight texture along the normal direction after thermomechanical processing at room temperature. Elastic moduli were determined over the temperature range [293 K-1100 K].
