Abstract:
Three dual phase high entropy alloys with a composition of Co
39.2Ni
39.2Al
21.6-xTi
x(
x=2, 4, and 6) are prepared in this work. All the three alloys display an FCC-B2 dual phase structure. Dispersed nanoscale L1
2 ordered precipitate phases are presented in FCC, and lath-like L1
0 martensite presented in B2 phase. With the increase of Ti content, the volume fractions of FCC and L1
2 phases and size of L1
2 phase increase, and the volume fraction of B2 phase decreases. The Co
39.2Ni
39.2Al
15.6Ti
6 alloy shows the most excellent combination of strength and ductility. The high strength and plasticity come from the stress induced martensitic transformation in the B2 phase during the deformation process, and the high work hardening rate provided by the L1
2 ordered precipitate phase in the FCC phase. This work provides a theoretical reference for designing the microstructure of the dual phase high entropy alloys through alloying to enhance their comprehensive mechanical properties.
