文摘The stress-controlled fatigue tests are carried out at a stress ratio of 0.1 and a frequency of 10 Hz,and span both low-cycle and high-cycle regimes by varying the applied stress amplitudes.The high-cycle fa-tigue regime gives a fatigue strength of 497 MPa and a fatigue ratio of 0.44.At equivalent conditions,the alloy’s fatigue strength is greater than all other high-entropy alloys(HEAs)with reported high-cycle fatigue data,dilute body-centered cubic alloys,and many structural alloys such as steels,titanium al-loys,and aluminum alloys.Through in-depth analyses of crack-propagation trajectories,fracture-surface morphologies and deformation plasticity by means of various microstructural analysis techniques and theoretical frameworks,the alloy’s remarkable fatigue resistance is attributed to delayed crack initiation in the high-cycle regime,which is achieved by retarding the formation of localized persistent slip bands,and its good resistance to crack propagation in the low-cycle regime,which is accomplished by intrin-sic toughening backed up by extrinsic toughening.Moreover,the stochastic nature of the fatigue data is neatly captured with a 2-parameter Weibull model.
