Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of microstructure design of metallic materials. In particular, it relates to a high-entropy alloy local lattice distortion quantification calculation method, system and medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] High-entropy alloys are a new type of high-performance single solid solution alloy that breaks through the traditional alloy design concept, and have excellent mechanical properties such as high strength, high hardness, high plasticity, high-temperature softening resistance, radiation resistance, and wear resistance. It is considered to be a new type of high-performance metallic structural material with great application potential in major key fields such as national economy and national security. The unique atomic-scale structural characteristics of high-entropy alloys are closely related to their deformation mechanisms, but a deep understanding is still lacking. Clarifying the atomic-scale structural characteristics of high-entropy alloys is very important for the composition design and structure regulation of new high-performance high-entropy alloys.
[0003] Lattice distortion is considered to be one of the unique atomic-scale structural characteristics of high-entropy alloys that distinguish them from traditional alloys, and is also one of the four core effects of high-entropy alloys. However, there are some differences between experimental research results and theoretical calculation results on the degree of lattice distortion in high-entropy alloys, and they do not conform to the severe lattice distortion proposed in previous studies. However, the understanding of this difference is not very clear, and there is even some controversy. Therefore, in-depth research and understanding of the lattice distortion of high-entropy alloys has become an important scientific problem that cannot be avoided in the development and mechanical property micro-mechanism regulation of high-entropy alloys, and has important scientific significance and application value for the composition design and local structure regulation of the mechanical properties of new high-performance high-entropy alloys.
[0004] In high-entropy alloy systems, the multiple component compositions have certain differences in atomic size, and when occupying ideal lattice sites, they will inevitably deviate. According to the atomic close-packed assumption, some atoms may be "pressed", while others may be "pulled", causing a certain degree of lattice distortion. This distortion is not only related to the size of the element atoms, but also closely related to their electronegativity. In usual theoretical calculations, element atoms are assumed to be hard sphere models, considering that the atomic radius of metal atoms in the alloy is fixed and not changed, and based on this assumption, the degree of lattice distortion of high-entropy alloys is calculated. However, once metal atoms participate in the alloying process in the alloy, certain interactions will occur between different atoms and between the same atoms. Due to the difference in electronegativity, the atomic radius of metal atoms will also change accordingly during the alloying process, which makes the calculation results based on the hard sphere model assumption often larger. How to avoid the problem of the atomic radius of metal elements after alloying is an urgent problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0027] In order to avoid the problem of atomic radius of metal element atoms after alloying, a new parameter, the distance between nearest neighbor atoms, is ingeniously introduced in the present application, and the local lattice distortion of the specific element atom is calculated according to the deviation of the nearest neighbor atomic pair distance of the specific element atom from the average atomic distance.

This method not only avoids the difficulty of measuring the real atomic radius and the difficulty of multiple changes, but also uses the experimentally measurable experimental parameter, the nearest neighbor atomic pair distance, which is easy to operate and closer to the real distortion condition.
