AbstractIn this work, we studied the brazing characteristics of Al2O3 and 3D printed Ti–6Al–4V alloys using a novel equiatomic AlZnCuFeSi high entropy alloy filler (HEAF). The HEAF was prepared by mechanical alloying of the constituent powder and spark plasma sintering (SPS) approach. The filler microstructure, wettability and melting point were investigated. The mechanical and joint strength properties were also evaluated. The results showed that the developed AlZnCuFeSi HEAF consists of a dual phase (Cu–Zn, face-centered cubic (FCC)) and Al–Fe–Si rich (base centered cubic, BCC) phases. The phase structure of the (Cu–Al + Ti–Fe–Si)/solid solution promises a robust joint between Al2O3 and Ti–6Al–4V. In addition, the joint interfacial reaction was found to be modulated by the brazing temperature and time because of the altered activity of Ti and Zn. The optimum shear strength reached 84 MPa when the joint was brazed at 1050 °C for 60 s. The results can be promising for the integration of completely different materials using the entropy driven fillers developed in this study.

The structural stability of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) is closely related to their mechanical properties. The precise control of the component content is a key step toward understanding their structural stability and further determining their mechanical properties. In this study, first-principle calculations were performed to investigate the effects of different contents of each component on the structural stability and mechanical properties of Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs based on the supercell model. Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs were constructed based on a single face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution. Elemental components have a clear effect on their structure and performance; the Cr and Fe elements have an obvious effect on the structural stability and equilibrium lattice constant, respectively. The Ni elements have an obvious effect on stiffness. The Pugh ratios indicate that Cr and Ni addition may increase ductility, whereas Co and Fe addition may decrease it. With increasing Co and Fe contents or decreasing Cr and Ni contents, the structural stability and stiffness of Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs are improved. The structural stability and mechanical properties may be related to the strength of the metallic bonding and covalent bonding inside Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs, which, in turn, is determined by the change in element content. Our results provide the underlying insights needed to guide the optimization of Co-Cr-Fe-Ni HEAs with excellent mechanical properties.

The effects of ausforming in an Fe30Mn10Cr10Co high-entropy alloy on the microstructure, hardness, and plastic anisotropy were investigated. The alloy showed a dual-phase microstructure consisting of face-centered cubic (FCC) austenite and hexagonal close-packed (HCP) martensite in the as-solution-treated condition, and the finish temperature for the reverse transformation was below 200 °C. Therefore, low-temperature ausforming at 200 °C was achieved, which resulted in microstructure refinement and significantly increased the hardness. Furthermore, plasticity anisotropy, a common problem in HCP structures, was suppressed by the ausforming treatment. This, in turn, reduced the scatter of the hardness.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new class of materials which are being energetically studied around the world. HEAs are characterized by a multicomponent alloy in which five or more elements randomly occupy a crystallographic site. The conventional HEA concept has developed into simple crystal structures such as face-centered-cubic (fcc), body-centered-cubic (bcc) and hexagonal-closed packing (hcp) structures. The highly atomic-disordered state produces many superior mechanical or thermal properties. Superconductivity has been one of the topics of focus in the field of HEAs since the discovery of the bcc HEA superconductor in 2014. A characteristic of superconductivity is robustness against atomic disorder or extremely high pressure. The materials research on HEA superconductors has just begun, and there are open possibilities for unexpectedly finding new phenomena. The present review updates the research status of HEA superconductors. We survey bcc and hcp HEA superconductors and discuss the simple material design. The concept of HEA is extended to materials possessing multiple crystallographic sites; thus, we also introduce multisite HEA superconductors with the CsCl-type, α-Mn-type, A15, NaCl-type, σ-phase and layered structures and discuss the materials research on multisite HEA superconductors. Finally, we present the new perspectives of eutectic HEA superconductors and gum metal HEA superconductors.
