Abstract

In this study, Cu₄₀Mn₃₀Ni₃₀ (Ti0) and Cu₃₈Mn_28.5Ni_28.5Ti₅ (Ti5) medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) were designed, and the influence of 5 at.% Ti addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the MEAs was investigated. The results indicated that the addition of Ti promoted the formation of Ni₃Ti-rich hexagonal close-packed (hcp) precipitates, leading to significant grain refinement in the Ti5 MEA. The yield strength, tensile strength and elongation of Ti5-A750 MEA achieved 586 ± 17 MPa, 893 ± 18 MPa and 7.7 ± 0.4 %, respectively, showing a superior combination of high strength and ductility compared to the Ti0-A750 MEA and other traditional high-strength Cu alloys. The improvement of mechanical properties for Ti5-A750 MEA was mainly attributed to the synergistic strengthening mechanisms of grain refinement strengthening and precipitation strengthening resulting from the Ni₃Ti-rich hcp precipitates. This synergistic strengthening strategy provides new ideas for designing novel high strength and ductility Cu alloys.

期刊介绍： Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.
