Abstract

The AlxTiVCrMnFeCoNiCu high-entropy alloys, designed by using the strategy of high entropy of mixing, were investigated on room-temperature mechanical properties. The four alloys have the compressive strength higher than 1.3 GPa and the compressive strength of AlTiVCrMnFeCoNiCu alloy reaches 2.4 GPa. Besides, both AlTiVCrMnFeCoNiCu and Al2TiVCrMnFeCoNiCu alloys exhibit compressive plasticity. For the alloy system, the microhardness in both dendrite and interdendrite area increase with increasing Al content. Such excellent room-temperature mechanical properties should be attributed to the solution strengthening, the dispersion strengthening of nano-scale particles, and the structure transformation from ductile face-centered cubic phases to strong body-centered cubic phases.
