Title: Local lattice distortion in NiCoCr, FeCoNiCr and FeCoNiCrMn concentrated alloys investigated by synchrotron X-ray diffraction

Abstract

Severe lattice distortion is presumptively considered as a core effect of high-entropy alloys, but quantitative measurements are still missing. Here, we demonstrate that the lattice distortion in high-entropy alloys can be quantitatively analyzed based on pair distribution function obtained from synchrotron X-ray diffraction. By applying this method to equiatomic NiCoCr, FeCoNiCr and FeCoNiCrMn concentrated alloys, we found that the local lattice distortion in the NiCoCr (0.23%) and FeCoNiCrMn (0.24%) alloys are comparable while negligible in the FeCoNiCr alloy (0.04%). Furthermore, the origin of local lattice distortion in the NiCoCr and FeCoNiCrMn concentrated alloys was discussed.

Evolution of local lattice distortion under irradiation in medium- and high-entropy alloys

Journal Article Tong, Yang ; Velisa, Gihan ; Zhao, Shiteng ; ... - Materialia

Here, a major challenge for future nuclear reactors is to design nuclear materials that can sustain extremely prolonged radiation damage. Local lattice distortion, considered as a core effect of high-entropy alloys (HEAs), can suppress the growth of radiation defects to control radiation performance. However, local lattice distortion in HEAs is rarely quantitatively measured. Here we employed total scattering technique to study the local structure of the face-centered cubic (fcc) equiatomic FeCoNiCr MEA, and FeCoNiCrMn and FeCoNiCrPd HEAs before and after ion irradiation. Their local lattice distortions were quantitatively evaluated based on the difference of lattice constant between the local structuremore »« less

A comparison study of local lattice distortion in Ni ₈₀Pd ₂₀ binary alloy and FeCoNiCrPd high-entropy alloy

Journal Article Tong, Y. ; Zhao, S. ; Jin, K. ; ... - Scripta Materialia

In this paper, the effect of alloying Pd on the local lattice distortion (LLD) in the Ni and FeCoNiCr host matrixes is quantified by integrating local structure characterization and theoretical calculations. The local structure measurements reveal that the mean LLD in the FeCoNiCrPd high-entropy alloy (HEA) is twice as high as the Ni ₈₀Pd ₂₀ binary alloy though the FeCoNiCr base alloy has a negligible mean LLD. Density functional theory calculations unveil that the unexpected high mean LLD in FeCoNiCrPd is related to the high fluctuation of LLD in the FeCoNiCr matrix. Finally, these observations suggest a synergetic effect ofmore » chemical complexity on HEAs' mean LLD.« less

Local Structure and Short-Range Order in a NiCoCr Solid Solution Alloy

Journal Article Zhang, F. X. ; Zhao, Shijun ; Jin, Ke ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Multi-element solid solution alloys are intrinsically disordered on the atomic scale, and many of their advanced properties originate from the unique local structural characteristics. We measured the local structure of a NiCoCr solid solution alloy with X-ray/neutron total scattering and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques. The atomic pair distribution function analysis (PDF) did not exhibit distinct structural distortion. But, EXAFS analysis suggested that the Cr atoms are favorably bonded with Ni and Co in the solid solution alloys. This short-range order (SRO) plays a role in the distinct low values of electrical and thermal conductivities in Ni-based solidmore »« less

Lattice distortion in a strong and ductile refractory high-entropy alloy

Journal Article Lee, Chanho ; Song, Gian ; Gao, Michael C. ; ... - Acta Materialia

Here, the maximization of the mixing entropy with the optimal range of enthalpy in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) can promote the formation of a stable single solid-solution phase with the absence of competing intermetallic compounds. The resultant effects, such as lattice distortion, can contribute to excellent mechanical properties, which has motivated numerous efforts to develop and design single-phase HEAs. However, challenges still remain, particularly on quantifying the lattice distortion and relating it to materials properties. In this study, we have developed a NbTaTiV refractory HEA with a single body-centered-cubic (BCC) structure using an integrated experimental and theoretical approach. The theoretical effortsmore »« less

Effect of d electrons on defect properties in equiatomic NiCoCr and NiCoFeCr concentrated solid solution alloys

Journal Article Zhao, Shijun ; Egami, Takeshi ; Stocks, G. Malcolm ; ... - Physical Review Materials

Here, the role of d electrons in determining distributions of formation and migration energies for point defects in equiatomic NiCoCr and NiCoFeCr concentrated solid solution alloys (CSAs) are studied regarding electron density deformation flexibility based on first-principles calculations. The disordered state is taken into account by constructing special quasirandom structures. The migration barriers are determined by directly optimizing the saddle point. It is found that the formation energies of interstitials in CSAs are lower than those in pure Ni, whereas the formation energies of vacancies are higher. In both NiCoCr and NiCoFeCr, Co-related dumbbell interstitials exhibit lower formation energies. Notably,more »« less
