The application discloses a high-strength and high-
toughness as-cast multi-principal-element
alloy and a preparation method thereof. The multi-principal-element
alloy is composed of elements Al, Mo, Ta, Nb, Ti, Zr and Cr. Through steps of preparing materials, preparing a CrAl
alloy and preparing the multi-principal-element alloy, the high-strength and high-
toughness as-cast multi-principal-element alloy with components of Al 0.5 Mo 0.5 NbTa 0.5 TiZrCr x is finally prepared. The high-strength and high-
toughness as-cast multi-principal-element alloy and the preparation method thereof improve the performance of the Al 0.5 Mo 0.5 NbTa 0.5 TiZr multi-principal-element alloy by adding Cr. Cr has the same body-centered cubic structure as the original alloy Al 0.5 Mo 0.5 NbTa 0.5 TiZr, and has the characteristics of smaller
atomic radius and lower density compared with other constituent elements. Cr can be effectively
solid-solved into the original multi-principal-element alloy lattice, reduces the
valence electron concentration of the original
system, thereby improving the strength,
hardness and ultimate strain of the original
system, reducing the density of the original
system, realizing light weight, high strength and high toughness, and having a simple preparation process.
