Due to the demands of aerospace development, refractory alloys are highly needed. Refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) are expected to be the next generation of refractory alloys because of their outstanding high‑temperature properties. Their phase structures, particularly the random BCC + ordered B2 phases, play a vital role in their performance. To bridge the gap between structural properties and performance, the advanced computational simulations will be utilized. Given the limitations of traditional simulation methods, universal machine learning potentials (uMLIPs) are a powerful tool to model compositionally complex RHEAs. In my project, by using combined computational methods including DFT simulation, MC/MD simulation with uMLIPs, the structural properties, mechanical properties, alloying trends, and thermodynamic properties will be studied in detail to construct a systematic understanding of ordering in RHEAs.
