Micromechanical study of strengthening mechanisms for Ti65(AlCrNb)35 medium-entropy alloy

Metal solutions, such as high- and medium-entropy alloys, exhibit extraordinary mechanical performance in comparison to regular alloys. In this study, we employ a crystal plasticity finite element model (CPFEM) to study the strengthening mechanisms of a new medium-entropy alloy, Ti65(AlCrNb)35. A 3D representative model is constructed by processing experimental results for Ti65(AlCrNb)35, such as average grain size, grain size distribution, and...
