In this work, we explore the hardening mechanisms in WB{sub 4}-based solid solutions upon addition of Ta, Mn, and Cr using in situ radial X-ray diffraction techniques under non-hydrostatic pressure. By examining the lattice-supported differential strain, we provide insights into the mechanism for hardness increase in binary solid solutions at low dopant concentrations. Speculations on the combined effects of electronic structure and atomic size in ternary WB{sub 4} solid solutions containing Ta with Mn or Cr are also included to understand the extremely high hardness of these materials.
