The Effect of Changing Constituents on Tensile Mechanical Properties of HfNbTaTiZr High Entropy Alloy: A Molecular Dynamics Study

The recent trend of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) was studied extensively for their promising mechanical properties, but individual constituents' effects have remained unexplored. In this work, the effects of changing the percentage of elements of HfNbTaTiZr-HEA on the mechanical properties were analyzed during uniaxial tension using molecular dynamics simulation. The tensile strength and modulus of elastic properties of the samples were analyzed. It was found that adding Nb or Ta up to 10 % (
