The Mo2–xWxBC system is of interest as a material with high hardness while maintaining moderate ductility. In this work, synchrotron diffraction experiments are performed on Mo2–xWxBC solid solutions, wherex= 0, 0.5, and 0.75, upon hydrostatic compression to ∼54 GPa, ∼55 GPa, and ∼60 GPa, respectively. Trends in bulk modulus,K0, are evaluated by fitting collected pressure–volume data with a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, findingK0= 333(9) GPa for Mo2BC,K0= 335(11) GPa for Mo1.5W0.5BC, andK0= 343(8) GPa for Mo1.25W0.75BC. WhileK0seems to express a slight increase when Mo is substituted by W, calculated zero-pressure unit cell volume,V0, exhibits the opposite trend. The decrease inV0corresponds to an increase in valence electron density, hardness, andK0. Observations align with previously reported computational results and will inform future efforts to design sustainable materials with exceptional mechanical properties.
