摘要

This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of Ta8Nb28Hf8Zr28Ti28 high-entropy alloy (HEA) using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) technology. Through precise control of process parameters, efficient melting and mixing of refractory elements were achieved, resulting in a predominantly single-phase BCC structure, with process-induced unmelted Nb-rich particles present in some samples.. A key breakthrough is the transformation of process-induced unmelted Nb-rich particles into flux pinning centers. The particle-rich sample exhibited over 100% enhancement in JC at 2 K and 0 T compared to its particle-lean sample. Additionally, observed trends between superconducting properties and hardness were identified. These results demonstrate the feasibility of employing the LENS method for manufacturing HEAs, offering a promising route for the near-net-shape fabrication of complex superconducting magnets.
