Chemical domain structure and its formation kinetics in CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy
Source abstract
Abstract
The formation of local chemical order in medium-entropy alloys and high-entropy alloys (MEAs/HEAs) has been strongly suggested in recent experimental observations. Since chemical order can lead to changes in mechanical and functional properties, tailoring of chemical order is a promising approach for further improving those properties of MEAs and HEAs. However, details remain unclear regarding the atomic structure of the chemical order and the formation kinetics. Here, employing a large-scale Monte Carlo/molecular dynamics hybrid annealing simulation with a neural network potential, we find a chemical-domain structure (CDS) after annealing below 800 K in FCC CrCoNi MEA. In addition, the formation kinetics, such as the formation time and process and time–temperature–chemical-order diagrams of the CDS, were successfully obtained using a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation with artificial neural network acceleration. The findings provide key information for controlling chemical order via thermal processing.
