Summary: A nanocrystalline CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy with nano-multiphase structure was prepared by laser evaporation source using inert gas condensation, exhibiting unexpected ferromagnetic behavior and significantly increased Curie temperature. The saturation magnetization and Curie temperature of the alloy can be controlled through heat treatment, attributed to the formation and structural evolution of magnetic nanophases during annealing, expanding the design toolbox for high-performance nc-HEAs based on laser-IGC technique.

Summary: In this study, a 1 at% carbon non-equiatomic doped Co19Cr5Fe38Ni19Mn19 high-entropy alloy was synthesized and its microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated during annealing. Nano-sized fibrous deformation grains were formed in the cold rolled alloys, resulting in high strength but low plasticity. Increasing annealing temperature led to the formation of recovery sub-structures and recrystallized grains, reducing defect density and increasing plasticity. The carbon-doped alloy showed a higher recovery activation energy, indicating enhanced recovery and recrystallization resistance compared to the carbon free alloy.

Summary: One important issue in materials science is the balance between strength and ductility in engineering alloys, and creating heterogeneous and complex microstructures is an effective method to achieve this. In this study, a CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy was processed through cold rolling and post-deformation annealing at temperatures ranging from 650-750 degrees C, resulting in a wide range of grain sizes. Annealing at 650 degrees C produced a heterogeneous structure with recrystallized areas of ultrafine and fine grains and non-recrystallized areas with an average size of around 75 μm. The processed material exhibited a combination of high strength (over 1 GPa) and uniform elongation (over 12%), which was attributed to different deformation mechanisms such as dislocation slip, deformation twinning, and hetero-deformation-induced hardening. Increasing the annealing temperature to 700 degrees C allowed for the acquisition of bimodal grain size distributions (around 1.5 and 6 μm), while annealing at higher temperatures eliminated the heterogeneous structure and led to a significant decrease in strength.

Summary: The microstructure and properties of cobalt-free AlCrFe2Ni2 high entropy alloy were investigated both in the as-cast condition and after severe cold-rolling and annealing. The alloy showed a heterogeneous microstructure with a high fraction of ductile FCC phase, allowing heavy cold-rolling and resulting in intriguing microstructural features. After annealing, the alloy exhibited ultrafine microduplex structure with significant resistance to grain growth, leading to high yield and tensile strength coupled with appreciable elongation.

Summary: The microhardness of high entropy alloy samples changes with temperature, showing an increase as the temperature decreases. Different types of samples exhibit varying microhardness behavior, with coarse-grained and nanocrystalline samples showing different responses to load and temperature variations. The microhardness drop observed in nanocrystalline samples under low load is attributed to mechanical polishing affecting the microstructure.

Summary: High strength ultrafine grained CoCrFeNiMn high entropy alloys containing TiO(C) nanoparticles were fabricated. The results showed that grain refinement led to a decrease in yield strength but a significant increase in fracture elongation. Introducing intragranular Ni-Ti nanoparticles can maintain high yield strength and enhance fracture elongation.

Summary: The study showed that adding titanium to the CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy can improve the strength without significantly decreasing ductility, but excessive titanium content of over 5.5% can lead to increased brittleness. Titanium addition affects the stability of the face-centered cubic structure, and manganese may reject chromium to facilitate the formation of a (chromium, titanium)-rich phase.
