Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of metal materials and preparation thereof, and particularly relates to a Ti-rich high-entropy alloy with high specific strength, high plasticity and high toughness and a preparation method thereof.

Background

Under the current 'carbon reduction' goal, the development of high-performance metal structural materials has become an urgent need. The research of traditional alloys, particularly structural application alloys, has relatively matured the technical research. Typically, such alloys contain a predominant chemical constituent of the base element, which is 80% (by weight) or more of the total composition. This limited range of alloying strategies stems primarily from the fact that ternary or higher order intermetallics are unexpectedly formed in the multi-component alloy after prolonged exposure to higher operating temperatures. The formation of these complex intermetallic compounds often severely deteriorates the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and structural stability of the material, bringing about a great risk to its service. This strategy imposes a great limitation on designing metal materials with higher performance.

In the past decade, High Entropy Alloys (High Entropy Alloys) have gradually come into the field of view as a completely new concept of Alloys, having unique composition and structure, and thus having many very excellent properties, such as good thermal stability, High hardness and strength, excellent magnetic and electrical conductivity, impressive wear and corrosion resistance, and being able to meet the use requirements of extreme environments for materials. Senkov et al in 2010 proposed a high entropy alloy consisting of Nb, Ta, Mo, W and other refractory elements. The yield strength of both refractory high entropy alloys, NbMoTaW and VNbMoTaW, is reported to exceed 400MPa at 1600 ℃ and is much higher than 718 nickel-base superalloy at 1000 ℃ (below 200 MPa). This indicates that these alloys may replace nickel-based superalloys as the next generation of high temperature structural materials due to their attractive high temperature mechanical properties. Thereafter, the component elements of such high-entropy alloys are further expanded to nine (Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W). Single BCC structural alloys represented by ZrTiHfNbTa alloy and the like, nbcrmo0.5ta0.5tizr alloy composed of BCC phase + Laves phase, and almo0.5nbta0.5tizr alloy composed of BCC phase + B2 were reported in succession. Although these alloys have extremely high room temperature strength and even high temperature strength, the problems of room temperature brittleness, high density and the like generally exist, and the processing and application of the alloys are severely limited. In addition, the high-entropy alloy has multiple components, large physical property difference and complex components, and how to obtain uniform and consistent components and structures in the preparation, processing and metallurgy processes is of great importance to realizing high performance of the high-entropy alloy. Most of the existing researches are focused on the preparation of dozens of grams to thousands of grams of alloy materials. The technical level of preparation of the material is difficult to support the practical engineering application. The development of a preparation method of the large-size high-entropy alloy is also one of the difficulties in the field of the current high-entropy alloy.

Under the existing material science and engineering theory framework, the metal material is difficult to have high strength, high plasticity and high toughness at the same time. How to break through the contradiction between strong plasticity and toughness is a huge challenge in the field of material science and engineering. The design concept of the high-entropy alloy provides possibility for breaking through the contradiction. In conclusion, the research of the high-entropy alloy material with large size and excellent comprehensive performance through the design of alloy components and the regulation and control of a preparation method is an urgent need in the field of the current metal materials.
