Description
Summary:A full picture of tensile deformation mechanism evolution in the FCC-to-HCP transformation-induced plasticity high entropy alloy (TRIP-HEA) was revealed by real-time in situ neutron diffraction. Three transition points, i.e. the triggering of TRIP in the FCC phase and the activation of single and multiple twinning in the HCP phase, were identified to result in significant stress redistribution. Accordingly, four deformation stages with distinct phase-specific work-hardening behaviors were recognized. It was concluded that the easily-triggered persisting TRIP and the work-hardening potential of the HCP contribute together to the persisting bulk work-hardening.
