摘要
The ageing hardening mechanism of a newly designed Fe65Cr13Cu3(CoMnMoNiAlTi)19 medium-entropy stainless alloy(ME-SA)with a simple bcc solid solution matrix was studied.This kind of ME-SA possessed a higher ageing hardness of approximately 584 HV and higher compressive stress and corrosion resistance than those of the conventional precipitation hardening stainless steel 17-4 PH(Cr17Ni4Cu4 Nb),which has comparable compressive strain.The well-dispersed B2-ordered phase in the cast state transformed to a D03 crystal structure with a higher ordering degree and reduced the precipitate size after ageing at 500℃,thus promoting a great ageing hardening effect.
