Effect of Molybdenum on Nano-precipitation Mechanism and Properties of High-Entropy AlCoCrFeNi2.1Mox Alloys
摘要
The effects of the molybdenum (Mo) addition on the phase stability, microstructure, and mechanical properties of high-entropy AlCoCrFeNi2.1Mox alloys were investigated. The results demonstrate that Mo addition reduces the ordering degree in the Al-Co-Cr-Fe-Ni system and refines the microstructure. The microstructure remained a BCC + B2 dual-phase structure; however, the Mo addition caused the transformation of the B2 phase morphology from a typical lamellar eutectic structure to a nano-lamellar decomposed structure, and the B2 phase became clearly coarsened as the Mo content increased. Additionally, the Mo addition resulted in significant lattice distortion, produced a variety of strengthening mechanisms, and caused the superior compressive mechanical properties of the AlCoCrFeNi2.1Mo0.1 alloy.
