摘要
Tailoring the microstructure of metallic materials by controlling the fabrication process is crucial to achieving superior mechanical properties. Herein, the mechanism of modifying the microstructure and mechanical properties of medium-entropy CoCrNi alloys was investigated by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature (RT) and cryogenic temperature (CT) and post-deformation annealing (PDA) and was analyzed by molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that temperature influences the deformation mechanism of the alloy, dislocations, stacking faults, deformation twins, and FCC-HCP phase transitions, which assume different roles at different temperatures. The dislocation density of the ECAP-CT sample is significantly higher than that of the ECAP-RT sample; however, the ECAP-RT sample exhibits unique deformation features of kink bands and hierarchical twin structure, resulting in dynamic grain refinement effects. In addition, the HCP phase strength increment caused by annealing-induced HCP phase transformation is higher in the ECAP-RT sample than in the ECAP-CT sample, thus leading to a substantial increase in strength after PDA. The present study exhibits the strengthening mechanisms and provides a generic approach to obtaining desirable mechanical properties of alloys. © 2023 The Author(s)
