Abstract
In this study, laser melting deposition (LMD) was employed to fabricate Fe36Mn21Cr18Ni15Al10 high-entropy alloy (HEA), followed by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment to optimize the microstructure and enhance ductility. The microstructural characteristics, phase composition, and mechanical properties of both as-deposited and as-HIPed HEAs were systematically investigated. The as-deposited specimen exhibited a BCC + B2 dual-phase structure with cellular microstructures, demonstrating a yield strength of 623.1 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 671.2 MPa, and elongation of 3.82 %. After HIP treatment, the alloy transformed into an FCC + BCC(B2) dual-phase structure, achieving improved mechanical properties with yield strength of 600.5 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 800.7 MPa, and significantly enhanced elongation of 20.7 %. This microstructural evolution and corresponding mechanical enhancement confirm the effectiveness of HIP in optimizing LMD-fabricated HEAs.
