ABSTRACT
Lightweight multiprincipal element alloys (MPEAs) are promising candidates for potential application as engineering materials due to their high strength and low density. In this work, lightweight Ti70Al15V15 and Ti80Al10V10 MPEAs were fabricated via vacuum arc melting. The phases of the Ti70Al15V15 alloys consisted of a BCC phase and a small amount of B2 phase while the Ti80Al10V10 alloys displayed a dual-phase structure with BCC and HCP phases. The different phase compositions led to differences in their mechanical properties. When the temperature changed from 298 K to 77 K, the strength of the alloys further increased and maintained a certain plasticity. This is attributed to the increasing lattice friction stress at cryogenic temperature. TEM observation demonstrated that dislocation played a crucial role in plastic deformation for both the Ti70Al15V15 and Ti80Al10V10 alloys. In addition, Ti80Al10V10 exhibited significant work-hardening capabilities. By analyzing the strengthening mechanism of the alloys, the theoretical yield strength was calculated, and the results agreed with the experimental values. The present results provide new insight into developing lightweight MPEAs containing Ti and Al.
