Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) Al20+xCr20-xMo20-yTi20V20+y ((x, y) = (0, 0), (0, 10), and (10, 15)) were computationally studied to obtain a low density and a better mechanical property. The density functional theory (DFT) method was employed to compute the structural and mechanical properties of the alloys, based on a large unit cell model of randomly distributed elements. Debye–Grüneisen theory was used to study the thermal properties of Al20+xCr20-xMo20-yTi20V20+y. The phase diagram calculation shows that all three RHEAs have a single body-centered cubic (BCC) structure at high temperatures ranging from 1000 K to 2000 K. The RHEA Al30Cr10Mo5Ti20V35 has shown a low density of 5.16 g/cm3 and a hardness of 5.56 GPa. The studied RHEAs could be potential candidates for high-temperature application materials where high hardness, ductility, and low density are required.

The composite material was obtained by chemical vapor deposition growth of carbon nanotubes on the surface of aluminum particles followed by high-temperature compaction under pressure. The content of carbon nanotubes was 1 wt.%. A composite material with a hardness of 58–60 HB, which is two times higher than the hardness of original aluminum with an adjustable thermal conductivity of 50–150 W/(m × K) and with a low density of 2.7 g/cm3 have been obtained. It was found that the hardness and thermal properties could be adjusted depending on the temperature during hot pressing by controlling the formation of Al3C4 carbide.
