Abstract
{21} twinning had been theoretically predicted for several decades but rarely observed in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals. A CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy with a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure at room temperature can undergo martensitic transformation into an hcp structure when deformed at low temperatures. Most surprisingly, we for the first time observed {21} deformation twins in the deformation-induced hcp-ε grains. Twin boundaries (TBs) are found to deviate from the twinning plane, relaxing into the terraced interface which is composed of (101)M||(100)T interfaces and (0001)M||(103)T steps. Due to local heating associated with plastic work, reverse martensite transformation from hcp to fcc occurs in twins and the adjacent matrix through two paths, but their paths in twin and matrix are correlated to each other across TBs. These findings enrich the knowledge of deformation twinning in hcp metals and alloys.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
