Abstract A series of shock loading experiments were conducted on High Entropy Alloy (HEA) samples consisting of Fe/Cr/Mn/Ni in weight percentages of 25.2/23.5/24.8/26.5. Characterizing this transition metal alloy is a first step in understanding the shock compression response of this relatively new class of alloy. A single stage light gas gun was used to conduct a series of flyer plate symmetric impact experiments to obtain fundamental dynamic properties. Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) diagnostics were employed to measure the free surface velocity on the back of each target during dynamic compression. These experiments yielded four data points that are in reasonable agreement with an estimated Hugoniot for the material.

To improve the mechanical properties of a sintered WHA using high entropy alloy as the matrix (W-HEA), investigations were carried out to apply deformation strengthening method of hot swaging on the W-HEA. The W-HEA samples were swaged around 1300°C with the 10%, 15% and 20% of reduction in area. The results show that the strength and hardness of the W-HEA composite increased with the increasing degree of deformation. And the aspect ratio of tungsten grains increases along the axial direction in the swaged alloys. The hardness of W-HEA with a 20% reduction in area reaches 448 HV, and the dynamic compression yield strength is about 1911 MPa. After hot swaging, the hardness and strength of the W-HEA are greatly improved compared with the sintered W-HEA.

During the past two decades, the high-entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi has attracted much attention due to its outstanding thermal and mechanical properties under ambient conditions. However, the exploration on the thermodynamic properties of this alloy under high temperatures and high pressures is relatively insufficient. Combining structural modeling with the similar atomic environment (SAE) method and first-principles simulations with the modified mean-field potential (MMFP) approach, we studied the lattice and magnetic structure as well as the thermodynamic properties of the body-centered-cubic AlCoCrFeNi, through supercell simulations. AlCoCrFeNi was found to display a strong local lattice distortion compared with typical 3d high-entropy alloys; the ferromagnetic structure stable at 0 K was predicted to transform to the paramagnetic structure at the Curie temperature TC = 279.75 K, in good agreement with previous calculations; the calculated equilibrium volumes, bulk modulus, and shock Hugoniot all agree well with available experimental data and other theoretical values. These results demonstrate the validity and reliability of our methods used to study the dynamic properties of AlCoCrFeNi, providing a promising scheme for accessing the dynamic properties of sophisticated high-entropy alloys.

High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new class of metallic materials with five or more principal alloying elements. Due to this distinct concept of alloying, the HEAs exhibit unique properties compared to conventional alloys. The outstanding properties of HEAs include increased strength, superior wear resistance, high temperature stability, increased fatigue properties, good corrosion and oxidation resistance. Such characteristics of HEAs have generated significant interest among the scientific community however, their application is yet to be explored. This paper discusses the mechanical and microstructural behavior of CoCrFeNiMn HEA subjected to thermo-mechanical processing, and its potential application in peripheral vascular stent implants that are prone to high failure rate. Results show that CoCrFeNiMn has characteristics that can potentially find use in peripheral vascular stent implants and extend their life-cycle.

In this study a series of gas gun plate impact experiments have been conducted on samples of wire arc AM tantalum to investigate the high strain rate behaviour of the material, including tensile failure (spall) mechanisms. Conventionally processed tantalum was fielded alongside the AM material to provide a direct comparison under identical loading conditions. In-situ velocimetry data was supported by pre-shock characterisation of the samples to supply information on the initial material microstructure, and to link these features to the observed differences in dynamic behaviour. Additional post-shock analysis of the damaged region in the samples provided further insight into the failure process.
