High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are a novel class of alloys that have many desirable properties. The serrated flow that occurs in high-entropy alloys during mechanical deformation is an important phenomenon since it can lead to significant changes in the microstructure of the alloy. In this article, we review the recent findings on the serration behavior in a variety of high-entropy alloys. Relationships among the serrated flow behavior, composition, microstructure, and testing condition are explored. Importantly, the mechanical-testing type (compression/tension), testing temperature, applied strain rate, and serration type for certain high-entropy alloys are summarized. The literature reveals that the serrated flow can be affected by experimental conditions such as the strain rate and test temperature. Furthermore, this type of phenomenon has been successfully modeled and analyzed, using several different types of analytical methods, including the mean-field theory formalism and the complexity-analysis technique. Importantly, the results of the analyses show that the serrated flow in HEAs consists of complex dynamical behavior. It is anticipated that this review will provide some useful and clarifying information regarding the serrated-flow mechanisms in this material system. Finally, suggestions for future research directions in this field are proposed, such as the effects of irradiation, additives (such as C and Al), the presence of nanoparticles, and twinning on the serrated flow behavior in HEAs.

High entropy alloys (HEAs) containing multi-principal metallic constituents have attracted much attention. A good understanding of their hot-deformation behavior and recrystallization mechanism is the prerequisite for microstructures tuning and for optimizing mechanical performance. Here, the flow behavior and recrystallization mechanism of the N-doped and C-doped face-centered cubic phase HEAs are produced at high temperatures by hot-compression at 1123–1273 K, with strain rates of 0.1–0.001 s−1. Constitutive equations were successfully constructed to reveal flow behavior, and stress-strain curves were predicted using strain compensated polynomial functions. Discontinuous and continuous dynamic recrystallization proceeded concurrently when compressed at a low temperature and high strain rate, whereas discontinuous recrystallization, which occurs at primary grain boundaries, became predominant at a high temperature and low strain rate, significantly contributing to the refinement and homogenization of the grains. For this reason, a relatively high temperature and a low strain rate, in which the recrystallized grains exhibit equiaxed morphology and very weak texture, are more suitable for refining grains. The average size of the grains was approximately 10 μm. This study sheds light on grain optimization and mechanical properties through thermomechanical processing.

Atom probe tomography (APT) is often introduced as providing “atomic-scale” mapping of the composition of materials and as such is often exploited to analyze atomic neighborhoods within a material. Yet quantifying the actual spatial performance of the technique in a general case remains challenging, as it depends on the material system being investigated as well as on the specimen's geometry. Here, by using comparisons with field-ion microscopy experiments, field-ion imaging and field evaporation simulations, we provide the basis for a critical reflection on the spatial performance of APT in the analysis of pure metals, low alloyed systems and concentrated solid solutions (i.e., akin to high-entropy alloys). The spatial resolution imposes strong limitations on the possible interpretation of measured atomic neighborhoods, and directional neighborhood analyses restricted to the depth are expected to be more robust. We hope this work gets the community to reflect on its practices, in the same way, it got us to reflect on our work.

Serrated flow behavior of an 11Cr ferritic/martensitic steel was investigated through tensile tests at initial strain rates of 2×10-510-3 s-1 at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 973 K. Serrated flow occurred at three temperature regions of room temperature, 573 K and 773973 K when tensile tests were conducted at a strain rate of 2×10-4 s-1. Serrations are also observed in the steel during tension at temperatures of 573 K and 773973 K at a strain rate of 2×10-5 s-1. With increasing tensile temperature, the yield stress and ultimate tensile stress of the steel were gradually decreased and quickly dropped at temperatures higher than 773 K, while the elongation of the steel was decreased to a minimum at 600 K, and then dramatically increased at temperatures higher than 600 K.
