γ′′ Phase transformation, precipitation hardening, hetero-deformation induced hardening and deformation mechanisms in a Nb-alloyed medium-entropy alloy

In present work, a novel γ′′-strengthened Nb-alloyed medium-entropy alloy (MEA) was successfully fabricated and systematically investigated. Our results evidence that the γ′′ phase brings out significant precipitation hardening effect (∼10.2 %volume fraction contributes ∼ 685 MPa strength enhancemen...
