摘要
Transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP)endows material with continuous work hardening ability,which is considered as a powerful weapon to break the strength-ductility tradeoff.However,FCC based alloys with TRIP effect can not get rid of the“soft”feature of the structure entirely,resulting in insufficient yield strength.Here,a Co_(x)Cr_(25)(AlFeNi)_(75-x) high-entropy alloy is designed.NiAl phase is used as strengthening component to improve yield strength,while TRIP effect ensures plasticity.Compared with the previous TRIP high-entropy alloy,its yield strength is nearly doubled,and the uniform elongation is more than 55%at room temperature.Furthermore,the corresponding multiphase microstructure evolution and deformation mechanisms are investigated.Significantly,stacking faults andΣ3 twin boundaries are confirmed to be the nucleation sites of HCP phase by HAADF-STEM.Ingenious composition design and proper heat treatment process make it a perfect combination of precipitation strengthening and transformationinduced plasticity,and thus guide design in the high-performance alloy.
