Superior strength-ductility combination of a Co-rich CoCrNiAlTi high-entropy alloy at room and cryogenic temperatures

In the present study, a Co-rich CoCrNi-AlTi high-entropy alloy was designed and fabricated by hot forging and 700 °C for 8 h annealing process. The microstructure of the resultant alloy was composed of three multicomponent-phases with the face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, hexagonal close-packed (...

description In the present study, a Co-rich CoCrNi-AlTi high-entropy alloy was designed and fabricated by hot forging and 700 °C for 8 h annealing process. The microstructure of the resultant alloy was composed of three multicomponent-phases with the face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structure and L1 _2 structure, respectively. The alloy exhibited a remarkable combination of tensile yield strength (gigapascal scale) and plasticity (uniform strain over 30%) at both room and cryogenic temperatures. The cooperative operation of multiple mechanisms consisting of refined-grain strengthening, second-phase strengthening, precipitation strengthening, stacking faults and phase-transformation toughening was suggested to be responsible for the excellent mechanical response.
