Abstract
In this work, we aim to mechanistically understand the effects of nitrogen incorporation on the intricate oxidation mechanisms of (HfNbTaZr)(CN) high-entropy carbonitride (HECN). Theoretical calculations reveal that introducing nitrogen enhances the inherent oxygen affinity of Nb and Ta within (HfNbTaZr)(CN). Furthermore, (HfNbTaZr)(CN) demonstrates accelerated oxidation dynamics compared to (HfNbTaZr)C, as evidenced by ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. Building upon the elucidated oxidation mechanism, we propose an experimentally validated nitrogen regulation strategy to bolster the oxidation tolerance, which involves reducing or eliminating nitrogen in HECNs containing Nb and Ta whereas increasing nitrogen for NbTa-free multicomponent transition metal carbides (MTMCs).
