Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising for extreme environments, but their high-temperature oxidation resistance remains a significant challenge. We have combined experimental data with the first principles to investigate the effect of titanium content on AlCoCrNiTix HEAs at 900 ℃. Results show that optimal Ti doping reduces the oxidation rate by two orders of magnitude and promotes the formation of a protective α-Al2O3 scale. This contrasts with previous findings by demonstrating the critical role of Ti in stabilising the oxide layer and preventing spalling. Our results provide a theoretical basis for the design of AlCoCrNi-based HEAs with improved high-temperature performance.
