Interdiffusion in Refractory Metal System with a BCC Lattice: Ti/TiZrHfNbTaMo

Interdiffusion of the elements in a diffusion pair consisting of Ti and an equiatomic high-entropy alloy (HEA) TiZrHfNbTaMo in the temperature range of 1473–1673 K has been studied. A calculated results phase diagram of the alloy by Thermo-Calc 2021-B software as used to determine the temperature stability range of the β-phase in the alloy. Ti–HEA diffusion pairs were obtained by low = temperature welding and then diffusion annealing was carried out at temperatures of 1473, 1573, and 1673 K during 12, 9, and 6 h, respectively. The interdiffusion zone was profiled using electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The diffusion parameters of the HEA’s elements were obtained using Hall’s method. An experimental results discussion is given.
