The present work exhibits the effects of Sn addition on the magnetic properties and microstructure of FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) high-entropy alloys (HEAs). The results show all the samples consist of a mixed structure of face-centered-cubic (FCC) phase and body-centered-cubic (BCC) phase. The addition of Sn promotes the formation of BCC phase, and it also affects the shape of Cu-rich nano-precipitates in BCC matrix. It also shows that the Curie temperatures (Tc) of the FCC phase and the saturation magnetization (Ms) of the FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) HEAs increase greatly while the remanence (Br) decreases after the addition of Sn into FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8 HEA. The thermomagnetic curves indicate that the phases of the FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) HEAs will transform from FCC with low Tc to BCC phase with high Tc at temperature of 600–700 K. This work provides a new idea for FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) HEAs for their potential application as soft magnets to be used at high temperatures.

And Performance

The structural stability of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) is closely related to their mechanical properties. The precise control of the component content is a key step toward understanding their structural stability and further determining their mechanical properties. In this study, first-principle calculations were performed to investigate the effects of different contents of each component on the structural stability and mechanical properties of Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs based on the supercell model. Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs were constructed based on a single face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution. Elemental components have a clear effect on their structure and performance; the Cr and Fe elements have an obvious effect on the structural stability and equilibrium lattice constant, respectively. The Ni elements have an obvious effect on stiffness. The Pugh ratios indicate that Cr and Ni addition may increase ductility, whereas Co and Fe addition may decrease it. With increasing Co and Fe contents or decreasing Cr and Ni contents, the structural stability and stiffness of Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs are improved. The structural stability and mechanical properties may be related to the strength of the metallic bonding and covalent bonding inside Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs, which, in turn, is determined by the change in element content. Our results provide the underlying insights needed to guide the optimization of Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs with excellent mechanical properties.

The microstructure, phase formation, thermal stability and soft magnetic properties of melt-spun high entropy alloys (HEAs) Fe27Co27Ni27Si10−xB9Lax with various La substitutions for Si (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) were investigated in this work. The Fe27Co27Ni27Si10−xB9La0.6 alloy shows superior soft magnetic properties with low coercivity Hc of ~7.1 A/m and high saturation magnetization Bs of 1.07 T. The content of La has an important effect on the primary crystallization temperature (Tx1) and the secondary crystallization temperature (Tx2) of the alloys. After annealing at relatively low temperature, the saturation magnetization of the alloy increases and the microstructure with a small amount of body-centered cubic (BCC) phase embedded in amorphous matrix is observed. Increasing the annealing temperature reduces the magnetization due to the transformation of BCC phase into face-centered cubic (FCC) phase.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with soft magnetic properties are one of the new candidate soft magnetic materials which are usually used under an alternating current (AC) magnetic field. In this work, the AC soft magnetic properties are investigated for FeCoNixCuAl (1.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.75) HEAs. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) show that the alloy consists of two phases, namely a face-centred cubic (FCC) phase and a body-centred cubic (BCC) phase. With increasing Ni content, the FCC phase content increased. Further research shows that the AC soft magnetic properties of these alloys are closely related to their phase constitution. Increasing the FCC phase content contributes to a decrease in the values of AC remanence (AC Br), AC coercivity (AC Hc) and AC total loss (Ps), while it is harmful to the AC maximum magnetic flux density (AC Bm). Ps can be divided into two parts: AC hysteresis loss (Ph) and eddy current loss (Pe). With increasing frequency f, the ratio of Ph/Ps decreases for all samples. When f ≤ 150 Hz, Ph/Ps > 70%, which means that Ph mainly contributes to Ps. When f ≥ 800 Hz, Ph/Ps < 40% (except for the x = 1.0 sample), which means that Pe mainly contributes to Ps. At the same frequency, the ratio of Ph/Ps decreases gradually with increasing FCC phase content. The values of Pe and Ph are mainly related to the electrical resistivity (ρ) and the AC Hc, respectively. This provides a direction to reduce Ps.

CoCrFeNiPdMnx (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) high entropy alloys (HEAs) were prepared and characterized. With an increase in Mn addition, the microstructures changed from dendrites (CoCrFeNiPd with a single face-centered-cubic (FCC) phase) to divorced eutectics (CoCrFeNiPdMn0.2 and CoCrFeNiPdMn0.4), to hypoeutectic microstructures (CoCrFeNiPdMn0.6), and finally to seaweed eutectic dendrites (CoCrFeNiPdMn0.8). The addition of Mn might change the interface energy anisotropy of both the FCC/liquid and MnPd-rich intermetallic compound/liquid interfaces, thus forming the seaweed eutectic dendrites. The hardness of the FCC phase was found to be highly related to the solute strengthening effect, the formation of nanotwins and the transition from CoCrFeNiPd-rich to CoCrFeNi-rich FCC phase. Hierarchical nanotwins were found in the MnPd-rich intermetallic compound and a decrease in either the spacing of primary twins or secondary twins led to an increase in hardness. The designing rules of EHEAs were discussed and the pseudo binary method was revised accordingly.

The paper explores the structure and magnetic properties of multicomponent high-entropy Al-Cu-Fe-Ni-Si alloys in as-cast and splat-quenched state. This alloy system is characterized by the absence of expensive components, such as Co, V, Mo, Cr, usually used for the production of high-entropy alloys while its characteristics are not inferior to those of more expensive alloys. Components of the studied high-entropy alloys were selected taking into account both criteria for designing and estimating their phase composition, which are available in the literature and based on the calculations of the entropy and enthalpy of mixing, and the difference between atomic radii of components as well. The alloy films were fabricated by a known technique of splat-quenching. A cooling rate estimated by film thickness was ~ 106 K/s. Experimental results reveal that the studied alloys except the Al0.5CuFeNi one are multiphase, with the structure consisting of disordered BCC and FCC solid solutions. The Al0.5CuFeNi alloy has only FCC phase. The leading role in determining the type of solid solution formed in the studied high-entropy films obviously plays an element with the highest melting point. All of the investigated multicomponent films are soft magnetic materials as indicated by low values of coercivity, while most of the as-cast alloys are hard-magnetic.
