A novel medium entropy alloy having the chemical formula Mo x CrNiCo (atomic %) where (x ranges from ˜0.4 to ˜1.0).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An alloy consisting of four transition metal elements, wherein the plurality of transition metal elements are arranged in a dual-phase structure; the dual phase structure comprising a face centre cubic (fcc) phase and a sigma phase. 2 . An alloy as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the four transition metal elements are: molybdenum, chromium, nickel and cobalt. 3 . An alloy as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the alloy has a chemical formula of Mo x CrNiCo, with x=0.4 to 1.0. 4 . An alloy as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the sigma phase is the minority phase volumetrically and the fcc phase is the majority phase volumetrically; the signal phase forming a network around parcels of fcc phase 5 . An alloy as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the alloy has a chemical formula of Mo x CrNiCo, with x=0.6. 6 . A method of preparing the alloy of the chemical formula Mo x CrNiCo, with x=0.4 to 1.0, comprising the steps of: preparing an alloy composition by arc melting raw materials comprising four or more transition metal elements; heating the molten alloy to a temperature to precipitate a dual phase consisting of a sigma phase and an fcc phase according to the temperature and Mo range as shown in the phase diagram: 7 . A method of preparing the alloy of the chemical formula Mo x CrNiCo, with x=0.4 to 1.0 as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the arc melting is performed for multiple times under a Ti-gettered argon atmosphere. 8 . A method of preparing the alloy of the chemical formula Mo x CrNiCo, with x=0.6 as claimed in claim 6 , wherein heating the molten alloy to between 750 degrees Celsius and 1350 degrees Celsius; quick quenching the molten alloy from above 750 degrees Celsius.
