Abstract: The effects of ball milling speed, ball-to-powder ratio and milling duration on the phase, morphology and particle size of NbMoCrTiAl high entropy alloy powders were investigated. The microstructure and hardness of NbMoCrTiAl high-entropy alloys prepared at different spark plasma sintering temperatures were investigated. The results indicated that incomplete alloying of powders occurred at the rotational speed of 300 r/min, ball-to-powder ratio of 10∶1 and milling duration of 60 h. Only the ball-to-powder ratio reached 12∶1 under the milling conditions of 300 r/min and 50 h can complete alloying of powders be achieved. Moreover, NbMoCrTiAl high entropy alloy with single BCC solid solution could be obtained on condition that the ball milling speed exceeded 400 r/min, with the ball-to-powder ratio of 10∶1 and milling duration of 50 h. The alloying sequence of elements in NbMoCrTiAl high entropy alloy was Al→Ti→Cr→Nb→Mo. The precipitation and dissolution change of the second phases occurred in NbMoCrTiAl high entropy alloy during the SPS process. With the rising sintering temperature(1 400—1 600 ℃), the second phases presented a decrease in number and an increase in size, which leaded to the gradual reduction of hardness.
