Traditional alloys is based on a single element called matrix and to improve some mechanical properties (strength, ductility, strength) are added and other metallic elements in the system. High entropy alloys have become a field of increasingly explored in the world of materials. Excellent mechanical properties obtained of the high entropy alloys recommend them to be from year to year as investigated. In the last decade more than 500 high entropy alloys journal and conference papers have been published [1]. High entropy alloys are alloys who have in their composition 5 to 13 metal elements and the concentration of each component is between 5% and 35%. These elements in the composition of high entropy alloys are divided into elements of minority and majority elements. They are called minority elements because their molar fraction is less than 5%. High entropy alloys have mixing entropy higher than traditional alloys, ΔScons≥1.61R (R = 8.314 J / (mol • K)) [1]. High entropy alloy have been obtained in the laboratory of Science and Materials Engineering faculty from Iasi using a medium frequency induction furnace with 8000 Hz. Because they have excellent mechanical properties high entropy alloys can be used in various fields with high wear and corrosion degree or electronic, magnetic applications [1]. In this work we selected pure metallic elements like: Fe, Ni, Cr, Mn and Al. The quantity of alloy developed varied between 0.5 and 1.5 kg. Metal load necessary for the preparation of metal alloys were formed technical grade, industrial accessible prices and satisfying. Friction and wear rezistance were studies by using a reciprocating sliding test machine , in a pin on disk configuration, using aluminum as counter face.In this paper it investigated the wear resistance of high entropy alloys obtained, microstructure and their mechanical properties.

In this paper it is presented the microstructure and wear resistance of FeNiCrMnCu high entropy alloy. High entropy alloys are composed by at least five metallic elements in equimolar or non-equimolare proportions. High entropy alloys a brand new category of metallic materials, appeared to be a new effort in materials science and engineering, which attracted great interest. To obtain FeNiCrMnCu high entropy alloy we used an 8000 Hz induction furnace. The chemical composition was determined by EDAX. Microstructural analysis was performed using optical microscopy and SEM (scanning electron microscopy), which showed that the FeNiCrMnCu high entropy alloy has a dentritic structure and form a solid solution. Choosing copper as the main element (copper tends to segregate in interdentritic region due to its positive enthalpy of mixing with many common elements) [1], along with the iron, nickel, chromium and manganese, led to obtaining a dentritic structure specify for solid solution, which, however, did not lead to a significant hardness for FeNiCrMnCu high entropy alloy. In this work we selected pure metallic elements like: Fe, Ni, Cr, Mn and Cu. The quantity of alloy developed has 1.5 kg. Friction and wear resistance were the studied by using a reciprocating sliding test machine, in a pin on disk configuration, using aluminum as counter face. Hardness value regarding FeNiCrMnCu high entropy alloy was 184 HV and medium friction coefficient value for FeNiCrMnCu high entropy alloys was 0.86 for 28 minutesc and 1.13 for the first 20 seconds.

High strength and ductility, often mutually exclusive properties of a structural material, are also responsible for damage tolerance. At low temperatures, due to high surface energy, single element metallic nanowires such as Ag usually transform into a more preferred phase via nucleation and propagation of partial dislocation through the nanowire, enabling superplasticity. In high entropy alloy (HEA) CoNiCrFeMn nanowires, the motion of the partial dislocation is hindered by the friction due to difference in the lattice parameter of the constituent atoms which is responsible for the hardening and lowering the ductility. In this study, we have examined the temperature-dependent superplasticity of single component Ag and multicomponent CoNiCrFeMn HEA nanowires using molecular dynamics simulations. The results demonstrate that Ag nanowires exhibit apparent temperature-dependent superplasticity at cryogenic temperature due to (110) to (100) cross-section reorientation behavior. Interestingly, HEA nanowires can perform exceptional strength-ductility trade-offs at cryogenic temperatures. Even at high temperatures, HEA nanowires can still maintain good flow stress and ductility prior to failure. Mechanical properties of HEA nanowires are better than Ag nanowires due to synergistic interactions of deformation twinning, FCC-HCP phase transformation, and the special reorientation of the cross-section. Further examination reveals that simultaneous activation of twining induced plasticity and transformation induced plasticity are responsible for the plasticity at different stages and temperatures. These findings could be very useful for designing nanowires at different temperatures with high stability and superior mechanical properties in the semiconductor industry.

In order to reveal the effect of Mo addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties, (CoCuFeNi)100-xMox (x = 0, 10, 15, 19, and 25, x values in atomic ratio) high entropy alloys were prepared by vacuum arc-melting. The results showed that with Mo addition, the μ phase formed and serious separation occurred in the high entropy alloys. The content of μ phase increased with the increase in Mo content. The microstructure of the alloys changed from an initial single-phase face-center-cubic (FCC) solid solution structure (x = 0) to a hypoeutectic microstructure (x = 15), then to a full eutectic microstructure (x = 19), and finally to a hypereutectic microstructure (x = 25). Coherent interface between μ phase and FCC phase was observed. The (CoCuFeNi)81Mo19 alloy with fully eutectic microstructures exhibited the highest yield strength of 557 MPa and fracture strength of 767 MPa in tensile tests at room temperature. The fracture surface revealed that the formation of great amounts of the μ phase resulted in the loss of ductility of (CoCuFeNi)100-xMox alloys.

Five common elements Co, Cr, Fe, Ni and Al were selected, and CoCrFeNiAl was prepared by arc-melting. The microstructure and mechanical properties after spot welding were studied. The results show that the cast microstructure of high entropy alloy CoCrFeNiAl is relatively uniform with a dendritic morphology. The heat is inversely proportional with the alloy grain sizes. The greater the heat is, the smaller the grain size is, which leads to the higher hardness and more uniform tissue. But there is a critical value of the heat(Hcrit) in spot welding. When Hactu(actual heat) exceeds Hcrit, it will adversely affect the performance, resulting in crack, splash and other defects.

Compositionally complex alloys, or high entropy alloys, are good candidates for applications at higher temperatures in gas turbines. After their introduction, the equiatomic Al17Co17Cr17Cu17Fe17Ni17 (at.%) served as a starting material and a long optimization road finally led to the recently optimized Al10Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6 (at.%) alloy, which shows promising mechanical properties. Investigations of the as-cast state and after different heat treatments focus on the evolution of the microstructure and provide an overview of some mechanical properties. The dendritic solidification provides two phases in the dendritic cores and two different ones in the interdendritic regions. Three of the four phases remain after heat treatments. Homogenization and subsequent annealing produce a γ-γ’ based microstructure, similar to Ni-based superalloys. The γ phase is Co-Cr-Fe rich and the γ’ phase is Al-Ni-Ti rich. The understanding of the mechanical behavior of the investigated alloy is supported and enhanced by the study of the different phases and their nanohardness measurements. The observations are compared with mechanical and microstructural data from commercial Ni-based superalloys, Co-based alloys, and Co-Ni-based alloys at the desired application temperature of ~800 °C.

AbstractThe high entropy alloys have become the most intensely researched materials in recent times. They offer the flexibility to choose a large array of metallic elements in the periodic table, a combination of which produces distinctive desirable properties that are not possible to be obtained by the pristine metals. Over the past decade, a myriad of publications has inundated the aspects of materials synthesis concerning HEA. Hitherto, the practice of HEA development has largely relied on a trial-and-error basis, and the hassles associate with this effort can be reduced by adopting a machine learning approach. This way, the “right first time” approach can be adopted to deterministically predict the right combination and composition of metallic elements to obtain the desired functional properties. This article reviews the latest advances in adopting machine learning approaches to predict and develop newer compositions of high entropy alloys. The review concludes by highlighting the newer applications areas that this accelerated development has enabled such that the HEA coatings can now potentially be used in several areas ranging from catalytic materials, electromagnetic shield protection and many other structural applications.

In 1995, Yeh suggested the formation of an alloy made up of at least five metallic elements which have large mixing entropy solutions with many elements forming solide alloys. This alloy appeared because traditional alloys are characteised by high fragility and are difficult to process. High entropy alloys are alloys which have approximately equal concentrations, formed by a group of 5 to 11 elements majority in composition, mole fraction of each major metallic element in the alloy is between 5% and 30%. During the research it has been proved that this alloy has a high hardness and it is also corrosion proof and also resistance and good thermal stability It should be mentioned that High Entropy Alloys are characterized as alloys consisting of roughly equal concentrations of at least five metallic elements and are claimed to favor close-packed, disordered structures due to high configurational entropy. Such crystal structures, e.g. face-centered cubic (FCC), are advantageous in that they should offer multiple active slip systems usually observed in ductile metals and alloys. This opens the door to a large number of rich chemistries which would otherwise contain unacceptable volume fractions of intermetallic compounds to be useful in structural applications That way in this paper will carry out research to one specific high entropy alloy, we analyze the physical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, corrosion resistance of these materials, heat treatments corresponding and plastic deformation. This paper is divided into several chapters which will present application domains, and also a number of conclusions. Key words : high entropy alloys, properties of alloys, application domains, corrosion proof, thermal stability

The mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys are superior to those of traditional alloys. However, the key problem of finding a strengthening mechanism is still challenging. In this work, the molecular dynamics method is used to calculate the tensile properties of face-centered cubic Al0.1CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys containing Σ3 grain boundaries and without grain boundary. The atomic model was established by the melting rapid cooling method, then stretched by the static drawing method. The common neighbor analysis and dislocation extraction algorithm are used to analyze the crystal evolution mechanism of Σ3 grain boundaries to improve the material properties of high-entropy alloys during the tensile test. The results show that compared with the mechanical properties Al0.1CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys without grain boundary, the yield strength and Young’s modulus of a high-entropy alloy containing Σ3 grain boundary are obviously larger than that of high-entropy alloys without grain boundary. Dislocation type includes mainly 1/6<112> Shockley partial dislocations, a small account of 1/6<110> Stair-rod, 1/2<110>perfect dislocation, and 1/3<111> Hirth dislocations. The mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys are improved by dislocation entanglement and accumulation near the grain boundary.
