- Abstract
- A CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy (HEA) was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) under 6.0 GPa pressure up to 10 turns at room temperature. It is shown that there is a gradual evolution in hardness with increasing numbers of turns but full homogeneity is not achieved even after 10 turns. Micro hardness measurements reveal that the material reaches a saturation hardness value of similar to 4.41 GPa and in this condition the microstructure shows exceptional grain refinement with a grain size of similar to 10 nm. An ultimate strength value of similar to 1.75 GPa and an elongation to fracture of similar to 4% were obtained in a sample processed for 5 turns. The nanostructured HEA was subjected to post-deformation annealing (PDA) at 473-1173 K and it is shown that the hardness increases slightly to 773 K due to precipitation and then decreases up to 1173 K due to a combination of recrystallization, grain growth and a dissolution of the precipitates. The formation of brittle precipitates, especially sigma-phase, at 873 and 973 K significantly reduces the ductility. Short-term annealing for 10 min at 1073 K prevents grain growth and leads to a combination of high strength and good ductility including an ultimate tensile strength of similar to 830 MPa and an elongation to failure of similar to 65%.
