Thermomechanical treatment and the addition of titanium element resulted in significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of CoCrFeNiMn alloy, however, different titanium contents led to different outcomes.
CoCrFeNiMnTix (x = 0.1 and 0.3) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were processed by thermomechanical treatment including heavy cold rolling followed by post-deformation annealing (PDA) at 773 to 1173 K for up to 60 min. Microstructural evolutions by adding titanium and thermomechanical treatment revealed significant enhance-ment in the mechanical properties with combination of high strength and ductility in CoCrFeNiMn HEA. The initial microstructures consisted of a single fcc phase while the PDA led to formation of complicated micro-structure due to precipitation and recrystallization. The results indicated that adding titanium promoted thermal stability of precipitates and postponed coarsening by solute drag and Zener pinning. The CoCrFeNiMnTi0.3 HEA showed high strength even after PDA at 1173 K due to stability of precipitates at this temperature. However, similar procedure resulted in dissolution of precipitates which facilitated coarsening and reduce the strength significantly in the CoCrFeNiMnTi0.1 HEA. The latter alloy showed remarkable mechanical properties with an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation to failure of similar to 900 MPa and -30%, respectively, after PDA at 973 K.
