Lamellar eutectic structure in Al0.7CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) is emerging as a promising candidate for structural applications because of its high strength-ductility combination. The alloy consists of a fine-scale lamellar fcc + B2 microstructure with high flow stresses > 1300 MPa under quasi-static tensile deformation and >10% ductility. The response to shear loading was not investigated so far. This is the first report on the shear deformation of a eutectic structured HEA and effect of precipitation on shear deformation. A split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to compress the hat-shaped specimens to study the local dynamic shear response of the alloy. The change in the width of shear bands with respect to precipitation and deformation rates was studied. The precipitation of L12 phase did not delay the formation of adiabatic shear bands (ASB) or affect the ASB width significantly, however, the deformed region around ASB, consisting of high density of twins in fcc phase, was reduced from 80 µm to 20 µm in the stronger precipitation strengthened condition. We observe dynamic recrystallization of grains within ASBs and local mechanical response of individual eutectic lamellae before and after shear deformation and within the shear bands was examined using nano-indentation.

Lamellar eutectic structure of Al0.7CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) is emerging as a promising candidate for structural applications because of its high strength-ductility combination. The alloy consists of a fine-scale lamellar fcc+B2 microstructure with high flow stresses >1500 MPa under quasi-static conditions. The response to shear loading was not investigated so far. This is the first report on the shear deformation of an eutectic structured HEA and effect of precipitation on shear deformation. The dynamic shear response (DSR) of the eutectic HEA was examined in two microstructural conditions, with and without the presence of L12 precipitates. A split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to compress the hat-shaped specimens to study the local DSR of the alloy. The adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) in two different microstructural conditions were characterized after deformation at dynamic strain rates. The adiabatic shear localization occurs at low strains for the high strength material, and the eutectic microstructure does not delay cracking. The width of ASBs and the extent of plastic deformation around them has been correlated with the rate of straining. Dynamic recrystallization within ASBs and profuse twinning around it was observed. Local mechanical response of individual lamellae before and after shear deformation was examined using nano-indentation.

Abstract High entropy alloy has offered significant attention in various material science applications, due to its excellent material features. In this investigation, the mechanical characteristics of Ni2FeCrCuAl High Entropy Alloy (HEA) have been examined under variable temperature and strain rates to analyze its influence over the material features of high entropy alloy through Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation and it is stated that the formation of various point defects and dislocations are the major cause for the augmentation of tensile deformation which impacts the tensile behavior of high entropy alloy. Moreover, the Radial Distribution Function (RDF) has been examined throughout tensile deformation, to investigate the impact of applied stress over the de-bonding of various atoms and it is found that the strain rate has a greater beneficial impact over the material feature trailed by the temperature outcome, owed to its superior impact on the formation of point defects and shear strain during tensile characterization.

AbstractHigh-entropy alloy, a new generation material, exhibits superior structural properties. For high-temperature applications, where dissimilar materials are in demand, HEAs may be joined with commercially available structural materials to improve their performance-life ratio. In this connection, a dissimilar joint was fabricated by gas tungsten arc welding between Al0.1CoCrFeNi-HEA and Inconel 718. The columnar dendritic grains are growing epitaxially at the Al0.1CoCrFeNi-HEA/weld metal interface, where their compositions are matching. While the composition misfit at the weld metal/Inconel 718 interface, reveals the non-epitaxial mode of solidification. In addition, the fusion zone exhibits the porosity and micro-segregation of NbC and Laves phases. The joint shows a joint efficiency of ~ 88%, where the strength is observed to be 644 MPa with 21% ductility. The results demonstrate the applicability of GTAW in fabricating the dissimilar weld joints between HEA and Inconel 718 for structural applications. Graphic abstract

High entropy alloys are one of the most exciting developments conceived in the materials science field in the last years. These novel advanced engineering alloys exhibit a unique set of properties, which include, among others, good mechanical performance under severe conditions in a wide temperature range and high microstructural stability over long time periods. Owing to the remarkable properties of these alloys, they can become expedite solutions for multiple structural and functional applications. Nevertheless, like any other key engineering alloy, their capacity to be welded, and thus become a permanent feature of a component or structure, is a fundamental issue that needs to be addressed to further expand these alloys’ potential applications. In fact, welding of high entropy alloys has attracted some interest recently. Therefore, it is important to compile the available knowledge on the current state of the art on this topic in order to establish a starting point for the further development of these alloys. In this article, an effort is made to acquire a comprehensive knowledge on the overall progress on welding of different high entropy alloy systems through a systematic review of both fusion-based and solid-state welding techniques. From the current literature review, it can be perceived that welding of high entropy alloys is currently gaining more interest. Several high entropy alloy systems have already been successfully welded. However, most research works focus on the well-known CoCrFeMnNi. For this specific system, both fusion and solid-state welding have been used, with no significant degradation of the joints’ mechanical properties. Among the different welding techniques already employed, laser welding is predominant, potentially due to the small size of its heat source. Overall, welding of high entropy alloys is still in its infancy, though good perspectives are foreseen for the use of welded joints based on these materials in structural applications.

AbstractThe high entropy alloys have become the most intensely researched materials in recent times. They offer the flexibility to choose a large array of metallic elements in the periodic table, a combination of which produces distinctive desirable properties that are not possible to be obtained by the pristine metals. Over the past decade, a myriad of publications has inundated the aspects of materials synthesis concerning HEA. Hitherto, the practice of HEA development has largely relied on a trial-and-error basis, and the hassles associate with this effort can be reduced by adopting a machine learning approach. This way, the “right first time” approach can be adopted to deterministically predict the right combination and composition of metallic elements to obtain the desired functional properties. This article reviews the latest advances in adopting machine learning approaches to predict and develop newer compositions of high entropy alloys. The review concludes by highlighting the newer applications areas that this accelerated development has enabled such that the HEA coatings can now potentially be used in several areas ranging from catalytic materials, electromagnetic shield protection and many other structural applications.

High entropy alloy are equiatomic and nonequiatomic complex concentrated/ multicomponent alloys which are recognized due to their distinctive mechanical and triboligical properties. A unique combination of excellent mechanical and tribological properties of high entropy alloys makes them promising candidate for variety of industrial and structural applications. The wear resistance needs to be examined for these complex concentrated alloys as only few numbers of reports and investigation are available in the field of new advanced HEAs materials. In the current research work, we identified the crucial achievements and breakthrough in the wear and tribological investigations of high entropy alloy and HEA based composites in recent years. This review article investigates the tribological behaviors of multicomponent alloys /high entropy alloys and HEA based composites which play an important role and draw a considerable attention in the present era. In view of recent developments on tribological and wear related mechanisms of HEAs for different type of industrial and structural applications, microstructure, chemical compositions, and mechanical properties are explained and reviewed in this review article.
