Phase Stability and Deformation Behavior of TiZrHfNbO High-Entropy Alloys

Mechanical characterisation of V-4Cr-4Ti alloy: Tensile tests under high energy synchrotron diffraction

“…As a highly accurate non-destructive characterisation technique, it is unsurprising there is already a well-established body of literature utilising in situ XRD to characterise crystallographic and thermomechanical properties of varied alloys. In situ XRD analysis at varying temperature has been used to establish evolving crystal phase and lattice parameters [ 15 , 16 ], lattice strain (and hence the distribution of stress about crystal systems) [17][18][19][20], single crystal elastic constants (SCECs) [21][22][23], and the nature and density of dislocations generated during deformation [ 15,[24][25][26]. To the best of our knowledge, high energy in situ XRD tensile testing has not been used to characterise the mechanical response of V-based alloys.…”
