Title: Development of coherent-precipitate-hardened high-entropy alloys with hierarchical NiAl/Ni2TiAl precipitates in CrMnFeCoNiAlxTiy alloys

Abstract

Coherent precipitates hardening is currently emerging strengthening mechanism of the various high entropy alloys (HEAs). Recently, CrMnFeCoNiAlx HEAs have been studied to show a phase transition from face-centered-cubic (FCC) to body-centered-cubic (BCC) and formation of coherent precipitates (B2-NiAl) within the BCC matrix. The coherent precipitates in the CrMnFeCoNiAlx alloys could contribute to increase the strength but lead to considerable reduction of the ductility. The present work systematically investigated a series of CrMnFeCoNiAl0.5Tix alloys to further improve the strength and plasticity, as compared to the previously reported CrMnFeCoNiAlx HEAs. As a result, an increase of Ti addition leads to the phase transition from FCC to BCC and formation of lamellar structure and hierarchical precipitates reinforced by B2-NiAl and L21-Ni2TiAl phases. Excellent mechanical properties were achieved from CrMnFeCoNiAl0.5Ti0.1 and CrMnFeCoNiAl0.5Ti0.2 alloys. Herein, the mechanical properties of the CrMnFeCoNiAl0.5Tix alloys were discussed via theoretical strengthening mechanisms.
