Abstract:High Entropy Alloy (HEA) is a class of construction steels based on the mixing of five or more elements in approximately equimolar ratios. Despite the ambiguity of their future use, HEAs represent a significantly new group of construction materials that are currently receiving a great deal of attention. Single-phase HEAs fail when used at elevated tempera-tures. The improvement of their high-temperature resistance was achieved by introducing a dispersion of oxides Al2O3 and Y2O3. To generalize the positive effect of dispersions on the mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, particles of a similar nature were cho-sen. These were dispersed particles of nitrides: hardness-incompatible AlN and hardness-compatible BN. The particles were evenly distributed inside the alloys by mechanical al-loying and compacted by SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering). The new structural alloy reached a density higher than 96.5 % and brought an increase in yield strength at room tempera-ture of up to 67 % and 40 % at elevated temperatures, while maintaining a homogeneous distribution of input powders.
