Title: Single crystal plastic behavior of a single-phase, face-center-cubic-structured, equiatomic FeNiCrCo alloy

Abstract

To understand the fundamental deformation mechanisms of compositionally complex alloys, single crystals of a multi-component equiatomic FeNiCoCr alloy with face-centered cubic (FCC) structure were grown for mechanical studies. Similarly to typical FCC pure metals, slip trace analyses indicate that dislocation slips take place on (1 1 1) planes along [11¯0] directions. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) obeys the Schmid law at both 77 and 293 K, and tension–compression asymmetry is not observed. Although this material slips in a normal FCC manner both at 293 and 77 K, compared to typical FCC metals the CRSS’s strong temperature dependence is abnormal.

Plastic deformation of single crystals of the equiatomic Cr-Mn-Fe-Co-Ni high-entropy alloy in tension and compression from 10 K to 1273 K

Journal Article Kawamura, Marino ; Asakura, Makoto ; Okamoto, Norihiko L. ; ... - Acta Materialia

In this report the plastic deformation behavior of single crystals of the quinary, equiatomic Cr-Mn-Fe-Co-Ni high-entropy alloy (HEA) with the face-centered cubic structure has been investigated in tension and compression as a function of crystal orientation and temperature from 10 K to 1373 K. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for {111}<110> slip at room temperature is 42-45 MPa. It does not depend much on crystal orientation (i.e., the Schmid law holds true) and the sense (tension vs. compression) of the applied load. The CRSS for {111}<110> slip increases with the decrease in temperature, without showing any significant inertia effects at cryogenic temperatures below 77 K. Extrapolation from the measured yield stresses down to 10 K yields a CRSS value at 0 K of 168 MPa. At cryogenic temperatures, the measured strain-rate sensitivity of flow stress is consistent with a very small activation volume. The concept of stress equivalence holds true both for the temperature dependence of CRSS and the stress dependence of activation volume, indicating that solid-solution hardening is the major strengthening mechanism. Deformation twinning occurs at 77 K but not at room temperature, resulting in higher tensile elongation to failure at 77 K than at room temperature. Deformation twinning at 77 K occurs at a shear stress of 378 MPa on conjugate (more »« less

Temperature Dependence of the Mechanical Properties of Equiatomic Solid Solution Alloys with FCC Crystal Structures

Journal Article Wu, Zhenggang ; Bei, Hongbin ; Pharr, George M. ; ... - Acta Materialia

We found that compared to decades-old theories of strengthening in dilute solid solutions, the mechanical behavior of concentrated solid solutions is relatively poorly understood. A special subset of these materials includes alloys in which the constituent elements are present in equal atomic proportions, including the high-entropy alloys of recent interest. A unique characteristic of equiatomic alloys is the absence of “solvent” and “solute” atoms, resulting in a breakdown of the textbook picture of dislocations moving through a solvent lattice and encountering discrete solute obstacles. Likewise, to clarify the mechanical behavior of this interesting new class of materials, we investigate heremore »« less

Tensile and compressive plastic deformation behavior of medium-entropy Cr-Co-Ni single crystals from cryogenic to elevated temperatures

Journal Article Li, Le ; Chen, Zhenghao ; Kuroiwa, Shogo ; ... - International Journal of Plasticity

The equiatomic Cr-Co-Ni medium-entropy alloy has the face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. Bulk single crystals of this alloy were grown and tested in tension and compression between 14 K and 1373 K with the loading axis parallel to [23]. At room temperature, the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for {111}<10> slip is 65 ± 5 MPa and does not exhibit a tension-compression asymmetry. It does, however, increase significantly as the test temperature decreases. A dulling of this temperature dependence occurs below 50 K, which may be due to the inertia effect. When the measured values above 50 K are extrapolated tomore »« less

Effect of Al-rich off-stoichiometry on the yield stress of binary Ni{sub 3}Al single crystals

Journal Article Golberg, D ; Demura, M ; Hirano, T - Acta Materialia

Stoichiometric binary single-phase Ni{sub 3}Al single crystals (Ni-25 at.% Al) and Al-rich single crystal-like Ni{sub 3}Al alloys (Ni-26 at.%Al, Ni-27 at.%Al) have been successfully produced using the floating zone method (FZ). The Al-rich crystals consisted of single crystalline Ni{sub 3}Al matrix and NiAl precipitated phase. The compressive yield stress of the as-grown crystals was measured at 293--1,273 K for loading axes between [001] and [011]. All the crystals exhibited the yield stress anomaly. Compared to Al-rich crystals, stoichiometric Ni{sub 3}Al exhibited higher peak temperature of the yields tress anomaly, lower yield stress below the peak temperature, but higher yield stressmore »« less

Microstructures and mechanical properties of compositionally complex Co-free FeNiMnCr₁₈ FCC solid solution alloy

Journal Article Wu, Z. ; Bei, H. - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

Recently, a structurally-simple but compositionally-complex FeNiCoMnCr high entropy alloy was found to have excellent mechanical properties (e.g., high strength and ductility). To understand the potential of using high entropy alloys as structural materials for advanced nuclear reactor and power plants, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of their structural stability and mechanical properties degradation under neutron irradiation. Furthermore, this requires us to develop a similar model alloy without Co because material with Co will make post-neutron-irradiation testing difficult due to the production of the ⁶⁰Co radioisotope. In order to achieve this goal, a FCC-structured single-phase alloy with amore »« less
