Abstract
High entropy alloys AlCoCrFeNiCuCNTs(x) and AlCoCrFeNiCu(Ni-CNTs(x) (x = 0.2 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 0.8 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 1.2 wt%) were prepared by powder metallurgy. The effects of CNTs and nickel-plated CNTs content x on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the high entropy alloys were investigated by XRD, SEM, FESEM, Raman spectrum, hardness tests and compression tests. The results showed that the dispersion of nickel-plated CNTs in the alloy powder was obviously better than that of CNTs, and a large number of agglomerates will appear when the amount of CNTs and nickel-plated CNTs were too much. The defect degree of the high entropy alloy powder with Ni-CNTs(x) was higher than that of the high entropy alloy powder with CNTs(x). The high entropy alloys blocks with CNTs and nickel-plated CNTs were both BCC + FCC two-phase solid solution structures, and the micromorphology were composed of dendritic grains. Both CNTs and nickel-plated CNTs in appropriate amount refined grains, and nickel-plated CNTs had better grains refining effect. The hardness, compressive strength and compressive plasticity of high entropy alloys blocks first increased and then decreased with the increase of CNTs and nickel-plated CNTs, and reached the best value when the content was 0.5 wt%.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
