A dual-phase Fe-Co-Ni-Cr-Mn high entropy alloy thin film with superior strength and corrosion-resistance
Source abstract
Abstract
Improving the mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure is critical for their potential applications. In this work, a Fe-Co-Ni-Cr-Mn thin film was prepared and deposited with a power of 360 W. This alloy thin film exhibits a dual-phase microstructure consisting of a fcc matrix and sigma phase (σ phase) precipitates. The 360 W-film shows ultra-high strength-ductility synergy, with a hardness of 10.4 GPa, yield strength of 6.2 GPa, and a fracture strain of ∼25 % (micro-pillar compression tests). The excellent mechanical properties can be mainly attributed to the grain size effect, the hardening effect of the σ precipitates, and deformation twinning. Moreover, this alloy thin film exhibits excellent tribological performances and corrosion resistance . Our results demonstrate high potential of the dual-phase HEA thin film for industrial applications as high-performance protective coating materials.
