Abstract

A new composition of MoTaxNbVTi (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 at.%) high-entropy alloy was prepared by vacuum arc melting technique. The produced structures were thoroughly analyzed in terms of their microstructural features, followed by a complementary evaluation of their phase formation prediction models. The alloys’ crystal structure was also examined. Both hardness values and compression data were selected in order to postulate the related strengthening and fracture modes. Hardness values were within the range of 55–58 HRC, and the compression modulus varied between 49 and 62 GPa. Finally, the systems were evaluated concerning their tribological response, after the conduction of dry-sliding wear tests. The wear rates showed values between 0.19 ± 0.012 and 0.38 ± 0.038 g/N‧m‧10–6, and the friction coefficient was within the range of 0.571—0.773 following the same trend of the wear rate values. The wear mechanisms were highlighted in every case, based on the numerical data derived and the examination of the worn surfaces and debris.
