Abstract

Hall-Petch equation Metals and alloys Recrystallization Refractory high-entropy alloys Solute-drag mechanism
The HfNbTaTiZr refractory high-entropy alloy was investigated on the grain growth kinetics and tensile properties. Grain growth at 1200–1350 °C is rather slow. The activation energy is 389 kJ/mol and the growth exponent is 3.5. The HfNbTaTiZr alloy has high strength, small work hardening and high ductility. Grain refining is found to enhance the tensile strength and ductility simultaneously.
