Abstract: | The dual-phase Re0.5MoNbW(TaC)0.5 composite,consisting of refractory body-centered cubic(BCC)high-entropy alloy and carbide with many fine eutectic structures,was successfully synthesized by arc melting.The phase stability,high-temperature mechanical properties and strengthening mechanism of the as-cast composite were studied.The microstructure of the composite remained stable after annealing at 1300℃for 168h.It exhibited remarkably high-temperature strength,yield strength~901 MPa,and true ultimate compressive strength~1186 MPa at 1200℃.The BCC phase and carbide exhibited a semi-coherent interface with good bonding after severe deformation at 1200℃.The dipolar dislocation walls in BCC phase,restricted dynamic interaction between defects in carbide,and the pinning effect of semi-coherent interface offered effective strengthening effects. |
