Popis: A TiTaNbZrHf refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) was synthesized through a cold isostatic pressing and a pressure-less sintering process in a hydrogen atmosphere using a powder mixture of metal hydride prepared either by mechanical alloying (MA) or by rotating mixing. This study investigates how differences in powder particle sizes impact the RHEA’s microstructure and mechanical properties. HCP (a = b = 3.198 Å, c = 5.061 Å) and BCC2 (a = b = c = 3.40 Å) phases were observed in the microstructure of coarse powder TiTaNbZrHf RHEAs at 1400 °C. In contrast, fine powder RHEAs were found to possess two-phase structures of HCP and BCC1 (a = b = c = 3.36 Å) with a higher hardness of 431 HV, compression strength of 1620 MPa, and a plasticity of >20%.
