Abstract
This work shows that optimum combination of cooling rate control and refractory Mo and/or V element addition to the CoCrFeMnNi (Cantor) HEA enables to develop novel high-strength hierarchical microstructures consisting of FCC, σ phase and finely dispersed precipitates. This has been achieved by casting CoCrFeMnNiV0.5, CoCrFeMnNiMo0.5 and CoCrFeMnNiV0.5Mo0.5 at. % HEAs at a cooling rate of ∼1000 K/s. Since this cooling rate is relatively fast, it enables to retain the Mo and/or V alloying elements in solid solution in the FCC phase. The phenomenon of solid solution hardening contributes to a decrease in the maximum indentation depth from 100 μm for CoCrFeMnNi, to ∼89 μm and ∼85 μm for the FCC and σ phases, respectively in the CoCrFeMnNiV0.5Mo0.5 at. % HEA. The novel microstructures additionally improve the wear resistance, particularly regarding the scratch hardness number, from Hs = 2.74 GPa for CoCrFeMnNi, to 4.19 GPa for CoCrFeMnNiV0.5, 4.78 GPa for CoCrFeMnNiMo0.5 and 6.85 GPa for CoCrFeMnNiMo0.5V0.5 thus making these alloys of potential interest for engineering components subjected to load and wear.
