Microstructure and properties of CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering

The equiatomic ratio CrMnFeCoNi high entropy alloy (HEA) was prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering. This paper reports the behaviour of MA, the phase formation, microstructure and mechanical properties of CrMnFeCoNi HEA. With the increase of milling time, solid solution with single FCC phase was gradually formed. The single FCC phase remained as matrix after SPS at 1373?K and 50?MPa. Ultrafine-grained microstructure and good mechanical properties were obtained: At room temperature, the as-sintered bulks exhibit an excellent combination of high compressive strength (2390?MPa) and high fracture strain (47%).     

Microstructures and properties of CoCrCuFeNiMox high-entropy alloys fabricated by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering

CoCrCuFeNiMox (x values in molar ratio, x?=?0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8) high-entropy alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering method. The effects of Mo addition on microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) result showed that the addition of Mo into CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) changed the original phase constitution from FCC to FCC?+?σ?+?μ and the peak intensity of (1 1 1) shifted to the left and decreased steadily. The field emission scanning electron microscope confirmed that the Cu-rich second FCC phase disappeared and the σ phase with a tetragonal structure expanded as the Mo content was increased. Additionally, a high density of dimple-like features were seen in CoCrCuFeNi HEA while typical quasi-cleavage facets could be observed from the fracture surfaces of the HEAs with the addition of Mo. The Mo0.8 alloy showed a good wear resistant and appropriate strength with fracture strain 22.70%, fraction coefficient 0.65, hardness 530?HV and compressive strength 1448?MPa.

Preparation of TiAl15Si15 intermetallic alloy by mechanical alloying and the spark plasma sintering method

This work is devoted to the preparation of alloys based on intermetallic compounds in the Ti–Al–Si system by powder metallurgy using mechanical alloying and the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. The aim was to describe the formation of intermetallic phases during mechanical alloying of TiAl15Si15 (wt-%) alloy and to consolidate the powder prepared by optimised conditions. Phase composition, microstructure and hardness of compacted alloy were determined. Four hours of mechanical alloying is sufficient time for preparation of pure elements free material composed only of intermetallic phases. After consolidation, the TiAl15Si15 alloy has a homogeneous structure composed of silicide (Ti₅Si₃) in aluminide (TiAl) matrix. The hardness of the material reaches 865?±?42 HV 5.
