Refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) have great potential for ultrahigh-temperature applications. In this paper, the authors evaluated the Gibbs energy expressions for pure Mo, Nb, Ta and W, and developed a thermodynamic database for the Mo-Nb-Ta-W quaternary system. The calculated results showed good agreement with experimental and theoretical data. Additionally, experimental investigation and high-throughput mapping were performed to further verify the reliability of the database.
Refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) emerge as promising candidate materials for ultrahigh-temperature applications. Accurate phase stability is the prerequisite for design of high-performance RHEAs, but still missing in the literature due to the big challenge in experiments. In this paper, the reliable 3rd-generation Gibbs energy expressions for pure Mo, Nb, Ta and W were firstly evaluated by integrating the physical based Segmented Regression model with thermal vacancy description from 0 K to high temperatures. The thermodynamic database of the Mo-Nb-Ta-W quaternary system was then developed by combining the established 3rdgeneration Gibbs energies with the phase equilibrium and thermodynamic data by using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) approach. The calculated phase equilibria, thermodynamic properties as well as the A2/B2 ordering transition behaviors show good agreement with those from experimental determination and theoretical calculation. The phase constitutes and elemental distributions in an equiatomic MoNbTaW as-cast alloy were experimentally investigated and compared with the non-equilibrium solidification simulations to further verify the database reliability. The high-throughput mapping of phase stability within the compositiontemperature space in various Mo-Nb-Ta-W alloys was then constructed by applying thermodynamic calculations. The alloying effects on the formation of B2 phase were systematically analyzed. The Mo-Nb-Ta-W alloys have a wide temperature region with a single A2 phase, while the A2 + B2 phase regions exist at very low temperatures. It is highly anticipated that the present accurate 3rd-generation thermodynamic database provides an important basis for efficient design and development of novel Mo-Nb-Ta-W RHEAs.
