Plastic Deformation Behavior of 40Fe–25Ni–15Cr–10Co–10V High-Entropy Alloy for Cryogenic Applications

A single FCC phase 40Fe–25Ni–15Cr–10Co–10V high-entropy alloy was designed, fabricated, and evaluated for potential cryogenic applications. The alloy forms a single FCC phase and exhibits higher yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation at cryogenic temperature (77 K) than at room temperature (298 K). The superior tensile properties at cryogenic temperature are discussed based on the formation of deformation twins during the tensile test...
