description In the study, the combined molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo (MD/MC) simulation was used to investigate the short-range ordering effect on tensile deformation of bicrystals with grain boundaries (GBs) Σ3(1<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mover accent="false"><mrow><mn>1</mn></mrow><mo>¯</mo></mover></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>2)[110]. Three different equiatomic high-entropy alloys, namely, ZrTiNbV, ZrTiNbTa and ZrTiNbHf, were considered. The tensile loading at 300K was applied in the direction perpendicular to the GBs’ planes. The stress–strain response as well as the structure evolution of the alloys with initial random distribution of atoms were compared with results obtained for the corresponding materials relaxed during the MD/MC procedure. It was revealed that the distribution of atoms in the alloys significantly affects the deformation process. Ordered clusters of Nb atoms are able to suppress the dislocation sliding and twin formation increasing the yield strength of ZrTiNbV. On the contrary, in ZrTiNbTa, the twinning mechanism is dominant in the case of the ordered structure due to the absence of Nb clusters and the presence of areas enriched with Zr atoms, which ease nucleation of dislocations and twins. Since Hf decreases the stability of the body-centered cubic lattice, the main deformation mechanism of ZrTiNbHf is the stress-induced phase transition; however, Nb clusters inside grains of the relaxed alloy slightly delay this process.
