Achieving excellent strength-ductility synergy in TWIP-assisted Fe25CoxCr25Ni50-x high-entropy alloys via Co/Ni ratio and stacking fault energy manipulation
FeCoCrNi high-entropy alloys frequently suffer from inadequate room-temperature strength, which imposes limitations on structural applications. By manipulating the Co/Ni ratio, a non-equimolar Fe25Co30Cr25Ni20 alloy was designed with simultaneously enhanced yield strength (increase by 24 %, to 431 MPa), ultimate tensile strength (increase by 29 %, to 832 MPa), and ductility (increase by 27 %, to 62 % elongation) compared to a lower Co/Ni ratio counterpart. This breakthrough can be attributed to the Co/Ni-induced reduction in stacking fault energy (SFE), which was quantitatively determined though thermodynamic model (from ∼42.6 mJ/m2 to ∼17.0 mJ/m2) and X-ray diffraction line profile analysis (from ∼24.25 mJ/m2 to ∼14.56 mJ/m2). The lowered SFE promoted a 38.8 % annealing twin area fraction and intensified deformation twin fraction, synergistically enhancing strain hardening behaviors. Quantitative strengthening analysis confirms the synergy of Hall-Petch strengthening from a refined effective grain size of 3.9 μm and dislocation strengthening from an initial density of 5.9 × 1013 m−2, aligning well with experimental measurements. This work establishes a Co/Ni ratio mediated SFE design strategy for developing multicomponent alloys with remarkable strength-ductility combinations.
期刊介绍:
Materials Science and Engineering A provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. Appropriate submissions to Materials Science and Engineering A should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect the microstructure - strength relationships of materials and report the changes to mechanical behavior.
