Abstract
In this research, CoMoMnNiV high entropy alloys were successfully prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructure, phases and magnetic properties of the as-milled powders and bulk sample were examined, employing X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), scanning electron microscopy, and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The resultant phase following MA exhibits a dual-phase microstructure comprising BCC and FCC solid solutions, with individual crystal dimensions below 18 nm. Thermal stability assessment via DSC reveals the alloy robustness up to 1216 °C. The SPS was performed on the MA samples at 980 °C and 50 MPa pressure, and their density was determined to be 89.64 %. The sample subjected to a milling duration of 40 h demonstrated a saturation magnetization of 25.977 electromagnetic units per gram (emu/g) and a coercivity of 371.5 Oersteds (Oe).
