Abstract
This work employs the hot oscillatory pressure (HOP) sintering technique for the first time to prepare AlCoCrNiFe high-entropy alloy at varying amplitudes, systematically investigating the influence of amplitude on their microstructure and properties. As the amplitude increased, the grain boundaries of HOP sintered alloy were disappeared, and significant improvements in density and microstructural uniformity were observed. Specifically, when the amplitude increased from ± 1 to ± 10 MPa, the density of the HOP sintered alloy was rose from 93.65% to 99.11%, achieving near-complete densification. The increased amplitude also effectively enhanced their hardness and corrosion resistance. At an amplitude of ± 10 MPa, the Vickers hardness of the HOP sintered AlCoCrNiFe high-entropy alloy was reached a maximum of 481.52 HV1, which was significantly higher than that of the hot-press sintered samples. Moreover, its corrosion current density was minimized at 9.1 µA/cm², indicating the strongest corrosion resistance. The research results demonstrate that the increasing the HOP amplitude can produce high-entropy alloys with high density, well hardness, and excellent corrosion resistance in lower temperature.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.
The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.
All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.
