The theoretical atom-size difference is calculated for crystal lattice of single-phase high-entropy alloys, which are consisting of the elements with close atomic radius or the elements with significantly different ones. X-ray diffraction patterns of these alloys are obtained and analysed. Based on the data of peak full-width at half-height of its maximum, an influence of magnitude of lattice distortions and size of coherent-scattering regions on physical broadening of diffraction lines is calculated. As shown, the increasing of theoretical atom-size difference causes decreasing of coherent-scattering regions as well as increasing of distortions in crystal lattice that leads to solid-solution strengthening and, therefore, to increasing of its hardness.
Key words: high-entropy alloy, lattice distortions, size of coherent-scattering regions, full-width at half-maximum (FWHM), hardness.
