Phase formation, microstructure, and hardness properties of FeCrNiMnCoTax and Al0.5 FeCrNiMnCoTax high-entropy alloys (HEA) have been investigated and reported. In this study, FeCrNiMnCoTax and Al0.5FeCrNiMnCoTax high-entropy alloys (HEA) were synthesized using arc-melting technique in argon (Ar) atmosphere from high purity elements (x in molar ratio, x=0.2, x=0.4 and x=0.6). Ingots from arc-melting were homogenized for 24h at 900°C in Ar atmosphere. Dominant dendritic and inter-dendritic phases were identified from the electron micrographs of these HEA. The area of inter-dendrite region increased for both FeCrNiMnCoTax and Al0.5FeCrNiMnCoTax alloys with the increasing of Ta content. The major phases in both FeCrNiMnCoTax and Al0.5FeCrNiMnCoTax alloys were identified as FCC and BCC solid-solutions. Addition of Al in Al0.5FeCrNiMnCoTax alloys has resulted in precipitation of a minor phase which was identified as FCC-TaCr2 Laves phase. As the Ta content increased, hardness of FeCrNiMnCoTax and Al0.5FeCrNiMnCoTax alloys increased from 200.34 Hv to 345.10 Hv and 385.22 Hv to 570.86 Hv respectively. Furthermore, presence of Laves phase in Al0.5FeCrNiMnCoTax alloys has resulted in higher hardness values compared to Al free sample, and this higher hardness could be attributed to precipitation strengthening effect by Laves intermetallic phase formation.

Chemical Complexity

One of the intriguing recent results in the field of high-entropy alloys is the discovery of single-phase equiatomic multi-component Laves intermetallics. However, there is no clear understanding that a combination of chemical elements will form such high-entropy compounds. Here we contribute to understanding this issue by modifying the composition of duodenary TiZrHfNbVCrMoMnFeCoNiAl (12x) alloy in which we recently reported the fabrication of hexagonal C14 Laves phase. We consider three alloys based on 12x: 7x=12x-VCrMoMnFe, 12x+Sc, 12x+Be and observe that all of them crystalize with the formation of C14 Laves phase as a dominant structure. We report that 12x+Be alloy reveals single-phase C14 structure with very high concentration of structural defects and ultra-fine dendritic microstructure with almost homogenous distribution of the constituted elements over the alloy matrix. The 7x and 12x+Sc alloys contain C14 as a main phase and unknown impurity phases. To characterize the materials, we examine their heat capacity, electrical conductivity and magnetic properties. The measurements reveal that the Laves phases are Curie-Weiss paramagnets, which demonstrate metallic conduction; 7x and 12x alloys also reveal a pronounced Kondo-like anomaly. Analysis of experimental data as well as ab initio calculations suggests that chemical complexity and compositional disorder cause strong s-d band scattering and thus the rather high density of d-states in the conduction band. Analysis of the results suggests that the mechanism of Laves phase formation in multicomponent multi-principal element metallic alloys is may be the same as in polydisperse hardspheres mixtures. Another important conclusion is that the configurational entropy is a negligible factor in the stabilization of multi-element Laves phases.

The Stability

The formation of single phase solid solution in High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) is essential for the properties of the alloys therefore, numerous approach were proposed by many researchers to predict the stability of single phase solid solution in High Entropy Alloy. The present review examines some of the recent developments while using computational intelligence techniques such as parametric approach, CALPHAD, Machine Learning etc. for prediction of various phase formation in multicomponent high entropy alloys. A detail study of this data-driven approaches pertaining to the understanding of structural and phase formation behaviour of a new class of compositionally complex alloys is done in the present investigation. The advantages and drawbacks of the various computational are also discussed. Finally, this review aims at understanding several computational modeling tools complying the thermodynamic criteria for phase formation of novel HEAs which could possibly deliver superior mechanical properties keeping an aim at advanced engineering applications.

Microstructure And Mechanical Properties

A series of refractory high-entropy alloys VTaTiMoAlx with x=0,0.2,0.6,1.0 were designed and produced by vacuum arc melting. The effect of added Al elements on the microstructure and mechanical properties of refractory high-entropy alloys were investigated. The X-ray diffraction results showed that all the high-entropy alloys consist of simple BCC solid solution. SEM indicated that the microstructure of VTaTiMoAlx changes from equiaxial dendritic-like structure to typical dendrite structure with the addition of Al element. The composition of different regions in the alloys are obtained by energy dispersive spectroscopy and shows that Ta, Mo elements are enriched in the dendrite areas, and Al, Ti, V are enriched in inter-dendrite areas. The yield strength and compress strain reach maximum (σ0.2=1221MPa, ε=9.91%) at x=0, and decrease with the addition of Al element at room temperature. Vickers hardness of the alloys improves as the Al addition.
