High-throughput synthesis of Mo-Nb-Ta-W high-entropy alloys via additive manufacturing
Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a class of alloys that can exhibit promising properties including enhanced irradi-ation resistance, high-temperature strength, and corrosion resistance. However, they exist in a relatively unex-plored region of quasi-limitless composition space. Thus, to enable the development of promisingcompositionally complex alloys, such as HEAs, high-throughput methods are needed. Such high-throughput ca-pabilities are developed and presented in this work. In situ alloying through additive manufacturing wasemployed to produce arrays of different HEA compositions. Sample arrays were then characterized by scanningelectron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), all whileremaining on the build plate. The top surface of each sample was compositionally homogeneous, as determinedby EDS, and each sample exhibited a single-phase, disordered crystal structure, as determined by XRD. CALcula-tion of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD) modeling was used to determine the equilibrium phases of each HEA com-position at lower temperatures, the results of which were compared with XRD results. Implications of high-throughput synthesis techniques and the coupling of high-throughput characterization and modeling techniquesare discussed in the context of alloy development.
