The invention relates to a TiZrVNb-based high-entropy
alloy containing
rare earth elements and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of TiZrVNb-
system high-entropy alloys. The
chemical formula of the high-entropy
alloy is briefly named as TiaZrbNbcVdMeAf according to the
atomic ratio, M is at least one of Al, Hf, Ta, W, Mn, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mg, Be, Li, Mo, Co, Ni, Si, B, O and N, A is at least one of Y, La, Er, Sc, Nd, Gd and Ce. According to the TiZrVNb-based high-entropy
alloy containing the
rare earth elements and the preparation method thereof, grain refinement under a common
smelting technology is achieved mainly by adding the
rare earth elements to increase component
supercooling, reduce a critical
nucleation radius and form a rare earth
oxide pinning
grain boundary. On the basis of keeping high strength and high
plasticity of the TiZrVNb-based high-entropy alloy, the
work hardening rate of the TiZrVNb-based high-entropy alloy is obviously increased. In addition, the high-entropy alloy can be prepared by adopting a
smelting technology, subsequent deformation and heat treatment are not needed, the preparation process is simple, the production efficiency is high, and the preparation method is suitable for industrial production.
