An Experimental Study on High Entropy Alloy Using Different Alloying Elements

Abstract

High entropy alloys are the combination of five and more than five elements in approximately similar atomic proportions. In this case, the structure obtained exhibit a different formation than conventional material types. In this study, the main alloy structure of Ni, Ti, Co, Mn, Fe was determined. This alloy design was made by selecting elements with different sizes and orbital valences from the main alloying elements such as Cr, Cu, Hf, Nb, V, and Zr. In this case, the atomic lattice diameters of the alloys obtained are incompatible, resulting in a type of hard and brittle material in general. The alloys obtained were reported using thermal and structural analyses.
