Abstract:An equiatomic MoNbTaTiVZr refractory high-entropy alloy (HEA) produced by arc melting was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature. Thermodynamic calculations and experimental results indicated a dual-phase microstructure composed of about 85% BCC Zr-depleted and 15% BCC Zr-rich phase in the as-cast condition. HPT causes grain refinement and an increase in dislocation density without the formation of new phases. After four revolutions, the Zr-depleted phase was hardened to $$\sim $$

“…Two groups of BCC peaks with a pronounced asymmetry to the peaks of the major BCC phase are also visible. According to our previous study [17], the RHEA has a grain size of approximately 100 µm and consists of dendritic regions depleted of Zr and interdendritic regions enriched in Zr.…”

“…Such a strain localization might be due to the large deformation of V-rich inclusions. Since in our previous study [17] no pronounced enrichment of vanadium is found in the dendritic region, it can be assumed that the V-rich inclusions are mainly dissolved in the interdendritic region. This assumption could be confirmed by the lattice parameter of the interdendritic region in Fig.…”

“…This is due to the fact that the soft phase is more prone to deformation compared to the hard phase in HPT-processing. In our previous study [17], a strain softening behavior was observed by probing the average ultra-microhardness of the interdendritic region. As shown in Figs.…”
