Abstract

This study presents the synthesis of (TiZrHfTaNb)C, (TiTaNb)0.45Hf0.275Zr0.275С and (TiTaNb)0.3Hf0.35Zr0.35С single-phase, high-entropy carbides through mechanical alloying and plasma sintering. High-entropy carbides hold promise for applications in jet engine components. We identified optimal mechanical alloying conditions to achieve powder homogeneity and minimize iron fouling. The microstructure, phase, and chemical compositions of the samples were investigated. At 1600 °C, a sample with a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice and low content of zirconium and hafnium oxides was formed. Elevating the sintering temperature to 2000 °C facilitated oxide dissolution and the formation of single-phase, high-entropy carbides. The microhardness of the samples ranged from 1600 to 2000 HV, while the compressive strength varied between 600 and 800 MPa. Plasma heating tests demonstrated excellent resistance to thermal oxidation for (TiTaNb)0.3Hf0.35Zr0.35С, withstanding temperatures up to 2250 °C.
