The specimens were fabricated using the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process and homogenized at a temperature of 1300°C for 4 h in a vacuum atmosphere. The determined thermodynamic parameters, Ω ≥ 1.1, δ ≤ 6.6%, and VEC < 6.87, suggested that the HEAs consisted of BCC solid solutions. XRD patterns of all the HEAs displayed single BCC phases. The difference in the solidification rate led to the micro-segregation associated with the elements Ta and Mo enriched in the dendrite arms and the elements V and Ti in the inter-dendritic regions. The HEA specimens showed a decrease in hardness with higher concentration of Ti element because the intrinsic hardness of Ti is lower as compared to the intrinsic hardness of Nb and Mo.}, type={Article}, title={Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Equiatomic and Non-Equiatomic TiMoTaNbV High Entropy Alloys Prepared Using Vacuum Arc Remelting}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/116816/PDF/AMM-2020-4-15-Kwangmin%20Lee.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2020.133691}, keywords={High entropy alloy, TiMoTaNbV, Vacuum Arc Remelting, BCC Phase, Micro-segregation}, }
