Microstructure and mechanical properties of a novel refractory AlNbTiZr high-entropy alloy

The microstructure and mechanical properties of a novel refractory AlNbTiZr high-entropy alloy (HEA) with a low density of ～5.85?g?cm^?3 were investigated after arc melting and homogenisation at 1473?K for 5?h. The as-cast HEA exhibits a single-phase ordered body-centred cubic (B2) structure. A hexagonal Zr₅Al₃-type second phase is introduced into the HEA through homogenisation treatment, resulting in increase of the yield strength, ultimate compressive strength and fracture strain by 70?MPa, 308?MPa and 9.2%, respectively. These results indicate that the introduction of the hexagonal Zr₅Al₃-type second phase into the B2 matrix can simultaneously improve the HEA strength and ductility, showing a strength–ductility combination superior to those of most reported refractory HEAs.     

Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of friction stir welded FeCrNiCoMn high-entropy alloy

To investigate the microstructural development and mechanical properties of friction stir welded high-entropy alloy, the stirring process and the air cooling period were separated for discussion. The texture component developed from A* {111}<112> to A {111}<110> in the stirring stage, and finally changed to B {112}<110> in the subsequent air cooling stage caused by the multiple mechanisms including discontinuous dynamic recrystallization, continuous dynamic recrystallization, static recovery and selected grain growth. This work also demonstrated that the static recovery and the selected grain growth during the air cooling stage remarkably deteriorated the microstructure and mechanical properties which is produced during the stirring stage, and it cannot be neglected when investigating the microstructure transformation and mechanical properties during the friction stir welding.     

Microstructure and properties of laser clad high-entropy alloy coating on aluminium

An AlCrFeNiCuCo high-entropy alloy (HEA) coating was synthesised on an aluminium substrate by laser cladding. Samples were characterised using an optical microscope, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, a microhardness tester, and an electrochemical workstation. The results showed that the interface between the cladding layer and matrix was sound, while the HEA coating consisted of BCC and FCC solid solutions and an Al-rich phase resulting from substrate dilution. The microstructure of the clad layer comprised both columnar and equiaxed grains. The average microhardness of the coating was 550 HV_0.2, and it exhibited better corrosion resistance than the aluminium matrix in a 1?mol?L^?1 H₂SO₄ solution. The typical corrosion characteristic of the coating was pitting and localised corrosion.

The MoNbTaTiV refractory high-entropy alloy(RHEA) with ultra-fine grains and homogeneous microstructure was successfully fabricated by mechanical alloying(MA) and spark plasma sintering(SPS).The microstructural evolutions,mechanical properties and strengthening mechanisms of the alloys were systematically investigated.The nanocrystalline mechanically alloyed powders with simple bodycentered cubic(BCC) phase were obtained after 40 h MA process.Afterward,the powders were sintered using SPS in the temperature range from 1500 ℃ to 1700 ℃.The bulk alloys were consisted of submicron scale BCC matrix and face-centered cubic(FCC) precipitation phases.The bulk alloy sintered at 1600℃ had an average grain size of 0.58 μm and an FCC precipitation phase of 0.18 μm,exhibiting outstanding micro-hardness of 542 HV,compressive yield strength of 2208 MPa,fracture strength of 3238 MPa and acceptable plastic strain of 24.9% at room temperature.The enhanced mechanical properties of the MoNbTaTiV RHEA fabricated by MA and SPS were mainly attributed to the grain boundary strengthening and the interstitial solid solution strengthening.It is expectable that the MA and SPS processes are the promising methods to synthesize ultra-fine grains and homogenous microstructural RHEA with excellent mechanical properties.     

Tensile deformation behavior and mechanical properties of a bulk cast Al_(0.9) CoFeNi_2 eutectic high-entropy alloy

In this study,a new Al0.9CoFeNi2 eutectic high entropy alloy(EHEA) was designed,and the microstructures as well as the deformation behavior were investigated.The bulk cast Al0.9CoFeNi2 EHEA exhibited an order face-centered cubic FCC(L12) and an order body-centered cubic(B2) dual-phase lamellar eutectic microstructure.The volume fractions of FCC(L12) and B2 phases are measured to be 60 % and 40 %,respectively.The combination of the soft and ductile FCC(L12) phase together with the hard B2 phase resulted in superior strength of 1005 MPa and ductility as high as 6.2 % in tension at room temperature.The Al0.9CoFeNi2 EHEA exhibited obvious three-stage work hardening characteristics and high workhardening ability.The evolving dislocation substructure s during uniaxial tensile deformation found that planar slip dominates in both FCC(L12) and B2 phases,and the FCC(L12) phase is easier to deform than the B2 phase.The post-deformation transmission electron microscopy revealed that the sub-structural evolution of the FCC(L12) phase is from planar dislocations to bending dislocations,high-density dislocations,dislocation network,and then to dislocation walls,and Taylor lattices,while the sub-structural evolution of the B2 phase is from a very small number of short dislocations to a number of planar dislocations.Moreover,obvious ductile fracture in the FCC(L12) phase and a brittle-like fracture in the B2 phase were observed on the fracture surface of the Al0.9CoFeNi2 EHEA.The re search results provide some insight into the microstructure-property relationship.     

Nanocrystalline CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy with tunable ferromagnetic properties

A nanocrystalline CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy(nc-HEA)with nano-multiphase structure was pre-pared by inert gas condensation(IGC)using a laser evaporation source.Encouragingly,the laser-IGC nc-HEA exhibits unexpected ferromagnetic behavior and the Curie temperature(Tc)increased nearly 10 times compared to any CoCrFeNiMn HEAs prepared by various other methods.In addition,the saturation magnetization(Ms)and Tc of the laser-IGC nc-HEA can be controlled via heat treatment,which is result-ing from the formation and structural evolution of magnetic nanophases during annealing.This work widens the design toolbox for high-performance nc-HEAs based upon laser-IGC technique.     

Microstructure and properties of laser-clad FeNiCoCrTi0.5Nb0.5 high-entropy alloy coating

ABSTRACT

FeNiCoCrTi_0.5Nb_0.5 high-entropy alloy coating is prepared on AISI 1045 steel by laser cladding. The cross-sectional macroscopic morphology, phase, microstructure, microhardness and wear resistance are studied systematically. The results show that FeNiCoCrTi_0.5Nb_0.5 coating has no porosities, cracks or other defects and is well metallurgically bonded to the substrate. The coating is composed of body-centred cubic (BCC) solid solution, face-centred cubic (FCC) solid solution and hard Laves phase. The solid solution phase and Laves phase distribute uniformly and closely in a lamellar shape to form a fine and dense eutectic structure. The microhardness of FeNiCoCrTi_0.5Nb_0.5 coating is about three times that of the substrate. Compared with the substrate, the coating has superior wear resistance.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of precipitation-hardened cast high-entropy superalloys

ABSTRACT

Recent studies indicated that precipitation-hardened high-entropy alloys (HEAs) possess outstanding properties. It is difficult to obtain substantial precipitated particles for HEAs at the as-cast condition. In this paper, cast precipitation-hardened high-entropy superalloys (HESAs) Ni_48?x Co₁₈Cr_10.5Fe_9.3Al_9.7Ti_4.5Mo _x (at.-%, x?=?1, 2, 3) were designed and prepared. All HESAs possess a high-entropy matrix and a fine γ′ particles structure. HESAs have higher ultimate tensile strength and elongation at room temperature than conventional Ni-based superalloys and close yield strength. All HESAs possess high compressive strength at elevated temperature. At 850?°C, the strengths of all alloys are higher than 800?MPa. Solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening were discussed. Precipitation strengthening has the greatest contribution to yield strength.

Microstructure inhomogeneity of as-cast high-entropy alloy and heat treatment improvement

In order to clarify the microstructure inhomogeneity of as-cast high-entropy alloy synthesised by vacuum arc melting, the microstructures, hardness, and chemical compositions of as-cast CrCuFeMnTi alloy have been investigated from the surface to the interior. The results show that obvious microstructure coarsening accompanied by a decrease in hardness occurred from the surface to the interior. The microstructures and hardness of CrCuFeMnTi alloy distributed relatively uniformly from the surface to the interior when the alloy was annealed at 500°C. The numerical fluctuation of the element distributions with the increase in depth also presented a more stable condition. In addition, electrochemical corrosion tests at different positions of the specimens further illustrated the effect of microstructure inhomogeneity on the corrosion tendency and rate.
