Abstract
As-cast alloys often require complex thermomechanical processing to obtain a hierarchical structure to achieve a good combination of strength and ductility.Here in this work,a novel hierarchical Fe27Ni35Cr18.25Al13.75Co2Ti2Mo2 high-entropy alloy(HEA)with ultra-high tensile strength and excellent ductility was fabricated by direct casting.The as-cast alloy exhibits hierarchical structure with an ul-trafine lamellar microstructure(ULM),ultrafine rhombus microstructure(URM),ultrafine vermicular mi-crostructure(UVM),nanosized precipitates and spinodal decomposition(SP)that develops during casting and cooling.The incompatibility of face-centered cubic(FCC)and body-centered cubic(BCC)phases in the deformation process leads to heterogeneous deformation-induced(HDI)hardening,which brings the alloy a tensile yield strength(YS)of~1056 MPa,an ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of~1526 MPa and a total elongation(El)of~15.6%.Additionally,the numerous interfaces generated by the hierarchical structure absorb the energy during deformation,effectively retarding the dislocation motion and causing strong work-hardening.
