Abstract
The strengthening effect of combined addition of substitutional and interstitial elements on the mechanical properties of medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) have rarely been explored. Hence, we analyzed the effects of co-doping Al and C on the mechanical properties of Fe60Mn16Ni12Cr12 MEA. The addition of 0.6 at% C and 1.0 at% Al to the MEA substantially increased the strength from 227 to 425 MPa without compromising the plasticity. Quantitative analyses demonstrated that the increase in strength originates from multiple mechanisms, including hetero-deformation-induced strengthening by the heterogeneous grain size structure.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
