Abstract
Four kinds of (Ta, Nb, Ti, V, W)C high-entropy ceramics with different combinations of bonding phases, namely Co, CoNi, CoNiCr, and CoNiCrFe, have been successfully prepared by conventional pressureless sintering method, and their microstructures and mechanical properties have been investigated. The results show that the complete high-entropy ceramics can be made using various metal elements as binder phases, which enhances the high-entropy formation ability of (Ta, Nb, Ti, V, W)C series high-entropy ceramics and improves their mechanical properties, and the transverse rupture strength of the CoNi combination reaches 797.42 MPa, the hardness of the CoNiCr combination reaches 1680 HV30, and the fracture toughness of the CoNiCrFe combination reaches 8.1 MPa. The present study shows that the multi-element combination mode is favorable to improve the grain formation ability of high-entropy cemented carbide ceramics and is important for reducing the Co element dependence in the field of pressureless sintering of ceramics.Graphical abstract
