Lutfi; Ates, Semih; Bayrak, Kuebra Gurcan; Mertdinc-Ulkuseven, Siddika; Arisoy, C. Fahir; Agaogullari, Duygu; Öveçoğlu, M. Lutfi; 02.03. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityThis study aims to show the possibility of synthesizing seven- and eight-component high entropy diboride (HEB) ceramics using high energy ball milling-assisted spark plasma sintering (SPS). Metal boride powders, synthesized in laboratory conditions from metal oxide-boron oxide-magnesium powder blends, were combined equimolarly as seven and eight components containing systems. Afterwards, hybridized powders were mechanically alloyed (MA) for 6 h and subjected to spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 2000 degrees C and under 30 MPa. Detailed phase analysis and physical, microstructural, and mechanical characterization of the samples were performed. in the sintered products, the main phase belongs to the HEB, and also low amounts of Hf/Zr oxides and secondary phases (W or Ti-rich) occurred. The highest hardness was observed at the (HfTiZrMoWCrTa)B-2 with 25 GPa, and the lowest hardness was seen at the (HfTiZrMnCrMoWTa)B2 with 17 GPa. Also, the highest wear resistance was calculated for the (HfTiZrMnCrMoTa)B-2 as 6.05 x 10(-7) mm(3)/Nm. Additionally, (HfTiZrMnMoWTa)B-2 and (HfTiZrMnMoCrTa)B-2 have the highest and lowest Archimedes' densities, with 7.94 g/cm(3) and 6.91 g/cm(3), respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Computational Alloy Design, Synthesis, and Characterization of Wmonbvcrx Refractory High Entropy Alloy Prepared by Vacuum Arc Melting(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Alkraidi, A.B.N.; Öveçoğlu, M.

MEF UniversityPrior investigations have demonstrated enhanced mechanical properties, such as hardness and wear resistance, through high-entropy alloy designs that contain refractory metals. We propose the WMoNbVCrx alloy phase space as a single-phase BCC-structured, hard, and refractory high-entropy alloy for the first time. The WMoNbVCrx alloy (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) system is investigated computationally through CALPHAD and DFT for the equimolar and non-equimolar compositional phase spaces and synthesized through vacuum arc melting. The DFT calculations demonstrated the excellence of specific non-equimolar compositional spaces. It was found that stoichiometries rich in W and poor in V are exceptionally hard, while those rich in V and poor in W demonstrate unprecedented toughness, as determined by the ductility descriptor (Pugh's Ratio). The computational analysis shows the significance of microstructures that contain both (W-rich and W-poor) solid solution, where a synergy between hardness and toughness is created. Our experimental synthesis using vacuum arc melting demonstrated the possibility of successfully producing these alloys with W-rich (dendritic) and W-poor (interdendritic) solid solution regions, starting from elemental powders. The introduction of chromium (Cr) resulted in enhanced microhardness and wear resistance. The peak microhardness was attained when 0.5 moles of Cr were added, reaching 7.03 ±0.24 GPa, accompanied by the least wear volume loss. The produced alloys were found to align with the computationally predicted-designed alloys in terms of the hardness and Young's modulus trends that they follow. This comprehensive investigation underscores the synergistic application of CALPHAD and DFT techniques in the tailored design of novel high-entropy alloys, explaining their synthesis, structural correspondence, and the pivotal role of Cr in enhancing the mechanical properties of these alloys. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
