Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of nano-refractory high-entropy alloys, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a high-entropy alloy through carbon-hydrogen synergistic reduction and the high-entropy alloy. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the preparation process of high-entropy alloys, due to the inherent differences in physical and chemical properties (such as atomic radius, electronegativity, crystal structure, etc.) between the constituent elements, the multi-metal system often shows a significant tendency of thermodynamic immiscibility. This characteristic makes the alloy prone to phase separation under conventional preparation conditions, forming intermetallic phases with strong chemical ordering characteristics. However, the formation of such ordered structures is often accompanied by a significant decrease in plasticity, resulting in intrinsic brittleness of the alloy, which severely restricts its engineering application potential. To overcome this challenge, traditional preparation processes usually adopt an extreme high-temperature reduction strategy (such as arc melting temperature exceeding 2000℃), promoting rapid diffusion and full mixing of all metal atoms to suppress the formation tendency of ordered phases, thereby obtaining an ideal disordered single-phase solid solution structure. However, this high-temperature process is accompanied by significant energy consumption, significantly increasing production costs, which is contrary to the green manufacturing philosophy. Therefore, developing new low-temperature preparation techniques to suppress phase separation while avoiding the negative effects of high temperature has become a key scientific problem that needs to be solved in the field of high-entropy alloys.
