Unveiling a Bulk WTaV Multicomponent Alloy With Superior Thermal Properties and Manufacturability

at 1000°C) surpassing that of W at high temperature, positioning it as one of the highest known multicomponent refractory alloys reported to date. Unlike W, which shows decreasing thermal conductivity with increasing temperature, this WTaV multicomponent alloy exhibits an opposite trend of increased thermal conductivity with temperature. The results clearly demonstrate potential candidacy of this material for demanding applications, providing an optimum balance of cost-effectiveness, chemical simplicity, easier manufacturability, and acceptable thermal properties in the bulk form.
