The effect of Zr addition on the melting temperature of the CoCrFeMnNi High Entropy Alloy (HEA), known as the “Cantor’s Alloy”, is investigated, together with its micro-structure, mechanical properties and thermomechanical recrystallization process. The base and Zr-modified alloys are obtained by vacuum induction melting of mechanically pre-alloyed powders. Raw materials are then cold rolled and annealed. recrystallization occurred during the heat treatment of the cold-rolled HEA. The alloys are characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, thermal analyses, mechanical spectroscopy and indentation measures. The main advantages of Zr addition are: (1) a fast vacuum induction melting process; (2) the lower melting temperature, due to Zr eutectics formation with all the Cantor’s alloy elements; (3) the good chemical alloy homogeneity; and (4) the mechanical properties improvement of re-crystallized grains with a coherent structure. The crystallographic lattice of both alloys results in FCC. The Zr-modified HEA presents a higher recrystallization temperature and smaller grain size after recrystallization with respect to the Cantor’s alloy, with precipitation of a coherent second phase, which enhances the alloy hardness and strength.

Abstract In this study, the cold-rolled Al0.3CoCrFeNi high entropy alloys were heat treated at 900°C for 30min and 1050°C for 20min, respectively, to investigate the effect of heat treatment on the microstructure of the alloy. The results showed that grain refinement occurred in the 900°C/30min annealed sample, while remarkable equiaxial grains and twins appeared in the 1050°C/20min annealed sample. The hardness of samples showed a decrease trend following: as-rolled sample, 900°C/30min annealed sample, and 1050°C/20min annealed sample, which can be attributed to the dislocation elimination caused by recovery and recrystallization.
