Enhancing the mechanical properties of casting eutectic high entropy alloys with Mo addition

Eutectic high entropy alloys (EHEAs) exhibit excellent mechanical properties in the as-cast condition. In this paper, Mo element was chosen to further strengthen the EHEAs by solid solution strengthening. The microstructures, phase compositions and mechanical properties of Co30Cr10Fe10Al18Ni32 − xMox (x = 0, 1, 2, 3) alloys were investigated. It was found that Mo acts as a solid solution strengthening element in the face-centered cubic (FCC) and...
