Abstract

Results of the analysis of deformation twins formed in HfNbTaTiZr refractory high entropy alloy during compression deformation at 20 °C – 600 °C are reported. All studied twins were formed by rotation of the matrix crystal lattice around a <110> pole and have the common reciprocal twinning plane K2 = 001} and reciprocal twinning direction η2 = <11 ̅0>. At the same time, the twinning plane K1 and direction η1 depend on the degree of rotation of K2 and η2 around the common <110> pole. The following rotational twinning modes have been identified in HfNbTaTiZr: 11 ̅4}<22 ̅1 ̅> (38.94° rotation), 11 ̅5}<55 ̅2 ̅> (31.58°), 11 ̅6}<33 ̅1 ̅> (26.54°), 11 ̅7}<77 ̅2 ̅> (22.84°), and 11 ̅8}<44 ̅1 ̅> (20.04°). A rotational mechanism of twinning, with the rotation axis <011> or <001>, is proposed as an alternative to the commonly accepted shear mechanism.
