Abstract: | A carbon-containing CoCrFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) with heterogeneous structures was obtained through thermome-chanical treatments,which induced concurrent recrystallization and carbide precipitation in the alloy.A combination of high yield strength (556 MPa) and large uniform elongation (45%) was achieved in the investigated alloy.The enhancement of the strength is attributed to the combined effects of grain refinement,precipitation strengthening and microstructural het-erogeneity.Our work demonstrated that the heterogeneity design could be realized by thermomechanical processes,which provided a practical strategy for producing HEAs with high performance. |
