Effect of Mn and V on structure and mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys based on CoCrFeNi system

Abstract

Microstructure and mechanical properties of equimolar composition alloys FeCrCoNi, FeCrCoNiV, FeCrCoNiMn and FeCrCoNiMnV were studied in as-solidified and annealed conditions. The FeCrCoNi and FeCrCoNiMn alloys were single-phase FCC solid-solutions in both conditions. However, the FeCrCo- NiV and FeCrCoNiMnV alloys consisted of the intermetallic r-phase matrix with a tetragonal crystal lattice and precipitates of a disordered FCC phase. The crystal structures of these alloys were found to be not affected by annealing
