Refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) is one of the most promising materials for use in high-temperature structural materials. In this study, the WMoNbTaV coatings on 304 stainless steel substrates has been prepared by mechanical alloying (MA). Effects of V addition and subsequent heat treatment on properties of the WMoNbTaV coatings were investigated. The results show that the RHEA coatings with nanocrystalline body-centered cubic (BCC) solid-solution phase were generated by the mechanical alloying process. The presence of the V element promotes a uniform microstructure and homogeneous distribution of composition in the RHEA coatings due to improving alloying efficiency, resulting in an increase of hardness. After the annealing treatment of the RHEA coatings, microstructure homogeneity was further enhanced; however, the high affinity of Ta for oxygen causes the formation of Ta-rich oxides. Annealing also removes strain hardening generated by high-energy ball milling and thus decreases the hardness of the RHEA coating and alters microstructure evolution and mechanical properties.

In this study, an Al0.3CrFe1.5MnNi0.5high entropy alloy was synthesized by arc-melting in Ar. The as-cast alloy ingot was heat treated for 8 h at 650-750°C and then cooled in furnace to investigate the effects of age treatment on the microstructure, hardness and corrosion behaviour. The microstructure of as-cast sample has a typical rich-Cr BCC structure of dendrites, rich-Ni FCC interdendrite phases and a small fraction of cross-like rich-Ni FCC phase within the majority dendritic structure. During annealing treatment at 650°C, the cross-like FCC phase (β-FCC) gradually decreased, dendritic rich-Cr BCC phase transfers to Cr5Fe6Mn8phase, and the AlNi phase precipitated within the matrix dendrites. The interdendritic β1-FCC phases gradually decomposed and transfers to second-phase (β2FCC), and the AlNi precipitated phase coarsen during annealing at 750°C. In addition, Cr5Fe6Mn8phase gradually transfers to rich-Cr BCC phase during slow-cooling process. These precipitation phases in the grain matrix are the main age hardening mechanism. The potentiodynamic polarization of the Al0.3CrFe1.5MnNi0.5high entropy alloys, obtained in 3.5% NaCl solutions, clearly revealed that the corrosion resistance increases and the passive region decreases as annealing temperature increasing.

Bulk ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials usually show superior mechanical and physical properties. The development of micro-mechanical behavior is observed after significant changes in microstructure through high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing. This report summarizes recent results on the evolution of small-scale mechanical response examined by the nanoindentation technique on two UFG materials including a high-entropy alloy and an Al-Mg metal matrix nanocomposite processed by HPT. Special emphasis is placed on demonstrating the interrelationship of essential microstructural changes with increasing torsional strain and applying a post-deformation annealing treatment and the evolution of the micro-mechanical behavior in these UFG materials by estimating the strain rate sensitivity.
