Interdiffusion-Driven Phase Growth in Complex Concentrated FCC Alloys
摘要
A novel systematic study of interdiffusion-driven phase growth in complex concentrated alloys (CCAs) is presented w.r.t increasing configurational entropy. Diffusion couples of M/Sn (M: Ni, CoNi, CoCrNi, CoFeNi, CoCrFeNi and CoCrFeMnNi) are annealed at 225 °C for 48 h to comprehensively explore diffusion behaviour in CCAs. Except Ni/Sn, all the systems exhibited two-phase layers, one of which is (CoNi)Sn3. Cr, Fe and Mn exhibited limited solubility in (CoNi)Sn3 and formed a separate intermetallic phase in the interdiffusion zone (IDZ). Contrary to the notion of sluggish diffusion, the overall thickness of the IDZ did not follow a monotonic decrease with increasing number of elements. The integrated diffusivities
