Abstract
CoCrNi medium entropy alloy (MEA) demonstrates significant potential for engineering applications, yet enhancing its room temperature performance remains a challenge. In this study, a multi-scale heterostructured (MHS) CoCrNi MEA was fabricated using a combination of spark plasma sintering (SPS) and surface mechanical rolling treatment (SMRT). This innovative structure was characterized by a gradient distribution of grain size and defect density, along with a dispersed arrangement of short-range ordered structures at the sub-nanometer scale. This multi-scale heterostructure promoted heterogeneous deformation-induced (HDI) hardening, thereby achieving a superior balance of strength and ductility. In addition, the wear and corrosion resistance were significantly enhanced compared with SPSed sample, expanding the application potential of CoCrNi MEA.
钴铬镍中熵合金(MEA)在工程应用方面具有巨大潜力,但要提高其室温性能仍是一项挑战。本研究采用火花等离子烧结(SPS)和表面机械滚压处理(SMRT)相结合的方法,制造了一种多尺度异质结构(MHS)钴铬镍中熵合金。这种创新结构的特点是晶粒尺寸和缺陷密度的梯度分布,以及亚纳米级短程有序结构的分散排列。这种多尺度异质结构促进了异质变形诱导(HDI)硬化,从而实现了强度和延展性的完美平衡。此外,与 SPSed 样品相比,钴铬镍 MEA 的耐磨性和耐腐蚀性也显著增强,从而拓展了其应用潜力。
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
