Abstract
High entropy alloy HfNbTaTiZr was successfully processed by severe plastic deformation using high pressure torsion (HPT) and ultrafine grained microstructure was achieved. The microstructure of HPT-deformed HfNbTaTiZr alloy was characterized by X-ray diffraction and compared with conventionally cast ingots.
The lattice defects introduced by HPT processing were characterized by positron annihilation spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction profiles of HTP-deformed samples were extremely broadened due to small sizes of coherently diffracting domains and a high microstrain introduced by severe plastic deformation.
