A new single crystal high entropy alloy is developed and produced using Bridgman directionalsolidification and seed-crystal method. The microstructure exhibits the directional dendrite morphology and is mainly composed of the FCC matrix and the L1 2 ordered precipitates. Its hightemperature yield strengths are far higher than those of the first-generation single crystal superalloys, and close to those of the second-generation ones. The solid-solution strengthening effect from the high content of W and Mo, as well as the precipitation strengthening effect from the combined addition of Al, Ti, Ta, and Nb, should be responsible for the excellent high-temperature strength of the investigated alloy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
