Abstract

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was explored to produce CoCrNi medium entropy alloys (MEAs) from pre-alloyed powder with a relatively high oxygen concentration (870 ppm). Microstructure, strength, and toughness were investigated, revealing the effect of oxide dispersion strengthening (ODS). LPBF CoCrNi MEAs had a porosity of <0.10 % and superior mechanical properties compared to CoCrNi-based MEAs reported in the literature. Notably, the CoCrNi MEAs denoted as S1 and S2, exhibited an excellent combination of yield strength (>735 MPa), a UTS > 1 GPa, and a total elongation of ∼ 50 %. High strength results from the high number density of nano chromium oxides (average particle size ∼20 nm), which were in situ formed during LPBF, contributing to a calculated dispersion strengthening of ∼220 MPa. The deformation mechanism was investigated by TEM characterization of the specimen after tensile testing, revealing a large number of nano-twins for S1, cellular structure and nano-twins formed for S3. Extremely low porosity and deformation twinning ensure steady plastic deformation in LPBF CoCrNi, enabling high ductility. The prospect of ODS via LPBF provides a pathway for the strengthening and toughening of medium to high entropy alloys (HEAs).
