The elastic properties of seventy different compositions were calculated to optimize the composition of a V–Mo–Nb–Ta–W system. A new model called maximum entropy approach (MaxEnt) was adopted. The influence of each element was discussed. Molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) are key elements for the maintenance of elastic properties. The V–Mo–Nb–Ta–W system has relatively high values of C44, bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G), and Young’s modulus (E), with high concentrations of Mo + W. Element W is brittle and has high density. Thus, low-density Mo can substitute part of W. Vanadium (V) has low density and plays an important role in decreasing the brittleness of the V–Mo–Nb–Ta–W system. Niobium (Nb) and tantalum (Ta) have relatively small influence on elastic properties. Furthermore, the calculated results can be used as a general guidance for the selection of a V–Mo–Nb–Ta–W system.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of cast and cold-rolled equitomic CoCrFeCuNi alloy in which Mn was substituted by Cu from Cantor alloy was studied. The separation into two solid solutions (Cr-Co-Fe rich and Cu-rich phases) were observed in CoCrFeCuNi. Coarsening and widening of interdendritic Cu-rich phase after homogenization was observed after homogenization, suggesting Cu-rich phase is thermodynamically stable. The compressive stress-strain curves of homogenized cast CoCrFeCuNi alloy exhibited the reasonably high strength and excellent deformability for the cast alloy. The yield strength increased up to 960MPa after cold rolling from 265MPa of the homogenized cast alloy. The significant increase of yield strength is thought to be associated with the alignment of Cu-rich second phase in addition to cold work dislocation storage after cold rolling.

During the past two decades, the high-entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi has attracted much attention due to its outstanding thermal and mechanical properties under ambient conditions. However, the exploration on the thermodynamic properties of this alloy under high temperatures and high pressures is relatively insufficient. Combining structural modeling with the similar atomic environment (SAE) method and first-principles simulations with the modified mean-field potential (MMFP) approach, we studied the lattice and magnetic structure as well as the thermodynamic properties of the body-centered-cubic AlCoCrFeNi, through supercell simulations. AlCoCrFeNi was found to display a strong local lattice distortion compared with typical 3d high-entropy alloys; the ferromagnetic structure stable at 0 K was predicted to transform to the paramagnetic structure at the Curie temperature TC = 279.75 K, in good agreement with previous calculations; the calculated equilibrium volumes, bulk modulus, and shock Hugoniot all agree well with available experimental data and other theoretical values. These results demonstrate the validity and reliability of our methods used to study the dynamic properties of AlCoCrFeNi, providing a promising scheme for accessing the dynamic properties of sophisticated high-entropy alloys.

Abstract Solid solution hardening in high entropy alloys was studied for the Cantor alloy using diffusion couples and nanoindentation. We study a continuous variation of the alloying content and directly correlate the nanoindentation hardness to the local composition up to the phase boundary. The composition dependent hardness is analysed using the Labusch model and the more recent Varvenne model. The Labusch model has been fitted to experimental data and confirms Cr as the most potent strengthening element. For comparison of the experimental hardness and the predicted yield strength of the Varvenne model, a concentration-dependent strain-hardening factor is introduced to account for strain hardening during indentation, which leads to a very good agreement between experiment and model. A study of the input parameters of the Varvenne model, performed by atomistic computer simulations, shows no significant effect of fluctuations in the atomic size misfit volumes or in the local shear modulus to the computed yield strength.
