Accelerated intermetallic phase amorphization in a Mg-based high-entropy alloy powder

We describe a novel mechanism for the synthesis of a stable high-entropy alloy powder from an otherwise immiscible Mg-Ti rich metallic mixture by employing high-energy mechanical milling.The presented methodology expedites the synthesis of amorphous alloy powder by stra-tegically injecting entropic disorder through the inclusion of multi-principal elements in the alloy composition.Predictions from first principles and materials theory corroborate the results from microscopic characterizations that reveal a transition of the amorphous phase from a precursor intermetallic structure.This transformation,characterized by the emergence of antisite disorder,lattice expansion,and the presence of nanograin boundaries,signifies a departure from the precursor intermetallic structure.Additionally,this phase transformation is accelerated by the presence of multiple principal elements that induce severe lattice distortion and a higher configurational entropy.The atomic size mismatch of the dissimi-lar elements present in the alloy produces a stable amorphous phase that resists reverting to an ordered lattice even on annealing.
