A series of (AlCrTiZrV)-Six-N films with different silicon contents were deposited on monocrystalline silicon substrates by direct-current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The films were characterized by the X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and nano-indentation techniques. The effects of the silicon content on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the films were investigated. The experimental results show that the (AlCrTiZrV)N films grow in columnar grains and present a (200) preferential growth orientation. The addition of the silicon element leads to the disappearance of the (200) peak, and the grain refinement of the (AlCrTiZrV)-Six-N films. Meanwhile, the reticular amorphous phase is formed, thus developing the nanocomposite structure with the nanocrystalline structures encapsulated by the amorphous phase. With the increase of the silicon content, the mechanical properties first increase and then decrease. The maximal hardness and modulus of the film reach 34.3 GPa and 301.5 GPa, respectively, with the silicon content (x) of 8% (volume percent). The strengthening effect of the (AlCrTiZrV)-Six-N film can be mainly attributed to the formation of the nanocomposite structure.

In the present work, Nbx-CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy films (HEAFs, 0 to 7.2 at.% Nb) were fabricated by radio frequency (RF) magnetron co-sputtering of CoCrFeMnNi alloy and Nb targets. The effects of Nb addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of HEAFs were systematically investigated. For Nb-free film (0 at.% Nb), the face-centered cubic (FCC) peaks were identified in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The addition of Nb resulted in a broadening of diffraction peaks, a decrease in peak intensity, and the vanishment of high-angle peaks. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images indicated the formation of nanotwins at low Nb concentrations, and a transition from a single phase FCC solid solution to an amorphous phase was observed with the increasing Nb concentration. The films were strengthened with an increase in Nb concentration. Specifically, the hardness characterized by nanoindentation increased from 6.5 to 8.1 GPa. The compressive yield strength and fracture strength measured from micropillar compression tests were improved from 1.08 GPs and 2.56 GPa to 2.70 GPa and 5.76 GPa, respectively, whereas the fracture strain decreased from >29.4% (no fracture) to 15.8%. Additionally, shear banding was observed in the presence of amorphous phase.

In this paper, the effects of annealing treatment on the microstructure, thermal property and magnetic properties of mechanical alloyed FeSiBAlNiC and FeSiBAlNiCe amorphous high entropy alloys has been systematically investigated using X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, field emission scanning electron microscopy and alternation gradient magnetometry. The results showed that annealing at different temperature range induced the pronounced microstructural evolution from the amorphous phase to a mixture of amorphous phase and intermetallics but without any formation of solid solutions. In addition, the thermal stability and heat resistance were enhanced with increasing the annealing temperature. Similarly, annealing treatment also had significant effect on the particle morphology, making the particles evolve from near-round shape to plate-like shape. Furthermore, subsequent annealing of W6-Ce amorphous HEAs enhanced the saturation magnetization (Ms) remarkably (from 0.6 emu/g of 140 h as-milled W6-Ce to 20.17 emu/g). But for the Ms values of the 140 h as-milled amorphous W6-C HEAs, annealing in different temperature range all exhibited a slightly decreased effect.
