The invention discloses an ultrahigh-temperature multi-element
iridium alloy material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
alloy materials. The
iridium alloy material comprises the following elements in percentage by
mass: 53 to 58.5 percent of Ir, 40 percent of Ta, 0.5 to 2 percent of Y and 1 to 5 percent of Re. The preparation method of the
iridium alloy material comprises the following steps: weighing Ir, Ta, Y and Re
metal powder in proportion and uniformly mixing; blank pre-pressing treatment is conducted on the evenly-
mixed metal powder, the
metal powder is die-cast into a block, and a pressed blank is obtained; the pressed blank is smelted through an
electric arc smelting method, and an iridium alloy crude product is obtained after
smelting is finished; and the
smelting is repeated for more than 7 times, so that the pressed blank is uniformly smelted, the content of each component reaches the standard, and the iridium alloy material is prepared. According to the iridium alloy material, through the synergistic effect of multiple elements and the preparation technology, the triple effects of structural
distortion strengthening, high-temperature stability and oxidation film integrity are achieved. And due to the high mixed entropy, a similar high-entropy alloy structure is formed, the high-temperature
oxidation resistance is remarkably improved, and the alloy is suitable for various ultra-high-temperature environments.
