Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics: Materials for Extreme Environment Applications IV

Abstract: High entropy alloys (HEAs) refer to solid solution alloys which contain five or more principal elements in equal or near equal atomic percent. Due to their unique structures, HEAs have superior comprehensive properties compared with the conventional alloys based on only one element. The property improvement based on the effect of high entropy may works on the refractory carbides used in ultra-high temperature ceramics. Therefore, a solid carburization method was employed on a refractory high entropy alloy of HfZrTiTa to prepare in situ the possible “Refractory High Entropy Carbides”. The microstructure, micro-hardness and oxidation resistance of the carburized layer …
