Solid-state manufacturing and microstructural, microhardness, and wear evaluation of 2024 aluminium matrix composites reinforced with high-entropy alloys particles
In this work, high-entropy alloys AlCoFeMoNiTi and AlCoFeMoNiTiZn were synthesized by mechanical alloying and employed as reinforcements in 2024 aluminium matrix composites produced via uniaxial pressing with electromagnetic induction sintering. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy analyses revealed reinforcements particles with a near-equiatomic composition, irregular morphology, and rough surfaces. Microstructural analysis showed a homogeneous dispersion of reinforcements and no evidence of interfacial reactions, which suggests that physical bonding is dominant. Incorporating only 3 wt% high-entropy alloys reduced wear volume by more than 50 %, while 5 wt% AlCoFeMoNiTi achieved an 85 % hardness improvement. These results demonstrate that combining high-entropy alloys with rapid solid-state processing is a highly effective strategy for producing lightweight aluminium matrix composites with enhanced mechanical and tribological performance for advanced engineering applications.
