Abstract

A new refractory alloy, CrHfNbZrTa0.5, was prepared by a vacuum arc-melting, and its phase analysis, microstructures, and compressive properties in as-cast and annealed conditions were investigated. The phase components of the as-cast CrHfNbZrTa0.5 alloy were mainly composed of BCC + Laves phases, while an extra HCP phase emerged after annealing. The yield strength of the as-cast and annealed alloys were 1457 and 1517 MPa respectively, both which are significantly larger than 929 MPa of the most concerned HfNbTaTiZr. The relatively stable high-strength of the as-cast and annealed alloys might originate from the high ductility-brittle temperature and the intrinsic strength of the Cr-containing Laves phase.
