Abstract
Recycling-inspired design and development of a novel phase-separated high entropy alloy (PS-HEA) Co20Cr26Fe20Mn20Ni14)0.75Cu0.25 was carried out in this work. The HEA consisted of Cu-rich FCC1 and Cu-lean FCC2 phases and showed a core-shell morphology in the Cu-lean FCC2 phase due to the precipitation of the Cr-rich tetragonal σ-phase. Heavy cold-rolling resulted in the progressive formation of a banded or elongated morphology, deformation-driven fragmentation and dissolution of the σ-phase, and Cr-supersaturation near the σ-phase. Recrystallization was confined to the individual Cu-rich FCC1 and Cu-lean FCC2 bands, which resulted in considerable mutual hindrance to grain growth and the retention of a remarkable ultrafine microstructure compared to other HEAs. Meanwhile, annealing resulted in the formation of σ-phase nanoprecipitates within the Cu-lean FCC2 phase. Solid solution, Hall-Petch strengthening due to ultrafine microstructure, and Orowan-Ashby strengthening due to the nanoprecipitates resulted in a remarkable improvement in yield strength to ~850 MPa with an elongation of ~5-6%. The results highlighted the potential of PS-HEAs as a novel class of HEAs with tunable microstructure and properties for structural applications.
