Abstract In this study, the structure and mechanical properties of near-eutectic refractory Al 24 Cr 11 Nb Ti 37 Zr 17 , 20 25 10 28 15 22 (at.%) high entropy alloys were investigated. Both had a hypoeutectic structure, while alloy hypereutectic one. The proeutectic phase in was ordered B2 – C14 Laves phase. all three alloys, eutectic regions possessed fine lamellar composed mixture phases. den...

Bifilm defects are the surface entrained double oxide films that introduced into melts during turbulence and disturbance to of melt. These lead porosity formation if they not cleaned from Thus, characterisation dross is formed on melt becomes a key parameter. In this work, Sr containing Al12Si alloy was used. For modification process, 100, 200 300 ppm added alloy. The oxidation tests were carri...

Cold rolling with subsequent annealing can be used to produce the recrystallized structure in high entropy alloys (HEAs). The Al0.25CoCrFeNi HEAs rolled to different final thickness (230, 400, 540, 800, 1000, 1500 μm) are prepared to investigate their microstructure evolutions and mechanical behaviors after annealing. Only the single face-centered cubic phase was obtained after cold rolling and...

The puzzling absence of Pu magnetic moments in a PuAm environment is explored using the self-consistent dynamical mean field theory calculations in combination with the local density approximation. We argue that delta-Pu-Am alloys provide an ideal testbed for investigating the screening of moments from the single impurity limit to the dense limit. Several important effects can be studied: volum...
