摘要

A non-equimolar Ti-V-Nb-Mo-Ni multi-principal-element alloy (MPEA) with a valence electron concentration (VEC) of 5.90 was successfully fabricated via vacuum arc melting (VAM) followed by solution treatment at 1200 °C for 24 h. Microstructural characterization and room-temperature mechanical tests were conducted to explore the microstructure–property relationship. The as-cast alloy has a compressive yield strength of 1525 MPa and a fracture strain of 9%, while the solution-treated alloy exhibits a yield strength of 1400 MPa and a fracture strain of over 20%. Microstructural analysis shows that solution treatment alleviates segregation and improves homogeneity but retains multi-scale second phases, whose synergistic strengthening effect (combined with solid solution strengthening and the lattice distortion effect) contributes to the excellent strength–plasticity combination of the alloy. This non-equimolar design breaks the limitation of traditional equimolar MPEAs, providing an experimental basis for the directional design of high-performance MPEAs.
