Precipitation-hardened high entropy alloys with excellent tensile properties

To achieve balance of high strength and high ductility remains a difficult problem for metallic materials, especially in as-cast alloys. We combined the design concepts of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and Ni-based superalloys, and designed two new Ni48.7Co17.5Cr10Fe9.3Al7.5Ti7 and Ni47.7Co17.5Cr10Fe9.3Al7.5Ti7Mo1 (at%) precipitation-hardened cast HEAs. Both two alloys have face-centered cubic (fcc) high-entropy matrix + nano γ′ (Ni3(Al,Ti)-type)...
