High-entropy alloy inspired development of compositionally complex superhard (Hf,Ta,Ti,V,Zr)-B-N coatings

Phase stability and mechanical properties of multimetal-boronnitride (Hf,Ta,Ti,V,Zr)-B-N is investigated by ab initio computations and experimental methods. (Hf,Ta,Ti,V,Zr)-B-N shows a strong energetic preference for the fcc NaCl-type structure over other structures up to a B:N ratio of 3.5. Reactiv...
