摘要

To develop ultra-strong high-density bulk materials with large deformability, we introduce a multiphase design strategy in a WMoVFeNi multicomponent alloy (MCA) system, and demonstrate it by investigating two prototype MCAs, i.e., W50Mo10V5(Fe64Ni36)35 and W55Mo15V5(Fe64Ni36)25 (at.%). The two bulk MCAs were fabricated by mechanical alloying (MA) plus spark plasma sintering, and systematically analyzed in terms of elemental distribution, phase structure evolution, mechanical properties, and deformation mechanisms. The nanocrystalline powders are mainly composed of body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) phases after the MA process for 15 h. Upon sintering, the bulk MCAs show a multiphase structure consisting of a fine-grained BCC matrix, two different FCC phases, and a minor V-rich BCC phase. Particularly, the bulk W50Mo10V5(Fe64Ni36)35 MCA sintered at 1250 °C for 10 min exhibits an average mass density of 14.94 g·cm−3, compressive yield strength of 1255 MPa, ultimate strength of 2639 MPa, and fracture strain of 32% at room temperature. Apart from the massive substitutional solid solution strengthening, the multiphase structure contributes significantly to the enhanced strength and deformability. The work thus provides a promising approach for the development of strong and tough high-density materials.
