摘要
In this study, a series of Co-free FeNiCrCuAlx (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0) high entropy alloys (HEAs) were developed by vacuum arc melting and casting method in high-purity argon atmosphere. The effects of Al addition on the microstructure and properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Vickers hardness tester, tensile test, wear test and electrochemical experiment. It was found that with the increase in the large atomic-sized Al content, the closely-packed FCC structure was destabilized for a transition to the loosely-packed BCC structure at x = 0.3. As x increased up to 1.0, the structure was mainly composed of BCC phase. The hardness of HEAs was enhanced by the influence of the contiguous atomic planes in BCC structures due to the relatively lower inter-planar spacing and higher lattice friction for dislocation motion, with the potential to increase the yield strength of the HEAs by 93.5 %. The friction coefficient decreased with increasing Al content, as indicated by stable profiles of Al0.8 and Al1.0 under progressive wear in comparison to those of Al0.1, Al0.3 and Al0.5 while the associated minimal wear depth and lower capacity for debris accumulation of the higher Al content HEAs confirmed their superior wear resistance. As FeNiCrCuAl0.5 presented the most superior corrosion resistance due to high resistance to ionic transport via the steady oxide film and the indication of a comparatively wider capacitive semicircle, undue Al additions would not be beneficial to improving plasticity or enhance corrosion resistance. Thus, FeNiCrCuAlx HEAs with Al contents in the range of 0.5-1.0 were found to possess optimized comprehensive properties, and can be suitably recommended as nuclear structural materials. This study will shed light on advancing the development of cutting-edge HEAs.
