Synthesis of TiZrNbHfTaC5 High-Entropy Carbide Powder: Sintering and Radiation Resistance Research

This paper reports the results of the studies addressing the production of a high-entropy carbide of a TiZrNbHfTaC5 composition, followed by its consolidation and Bi ion irradiation at room temperature. The mechanical and thermophysical properties of consolidated samples are analyzed before and after irradiation. Their X-ray diffractometry is performed, and the crystal lattice parameters and microstress values are determined by the Williamson–Hall (W-H) method.
