Abstract
Eutectic high-entropy alloys,composed of FCC/B2 phases with a narrow solidification interval and excel-lent fluidity,have become a new hotspot in additive manufacturing.Nevertheless,their microstructures exhibit significant sensitivity to processing parameters,feedstocks,and composition,ultimately limiting the alloys'engineering applications.Here,a hypereutectic Ala.7CoCrFeNi2.4 alloy with a low cracking sus-ceptibility index was designed by Thermo-Calc calculation and fabricated by laser powder bed fusion.Results show that the as-printed Al0.7CoCrFeNi2.4 alloy manifests a stable cellular structure,coupled with appreciable ultimate tensile strength(≥1200 MPa)and ductility(≥20%)over a wide range of process-ing parameters.After aging at 800 ℃ for 30 min,outstanding strength(1500 MPa)and elongation(15%)were obtained.Considerable mechanical properties after aging stem from a triple strengthening mecha-nism,i.e.,L12 nanoprecipitates and rod-shaped B2 particles within the FCC matrix,along with Cr-enriched spherical nanoparticles in the B2 phase.Meanwhile,hierarchical structure,i.e.,FCC dominated matrix,a discontinuous B2 phase,a precipitation-free zone in the B2 phase,and a K-S orientation relationship be-tween FCC and B2,facilitate to maintain excellent plasticity.These results guide designing HEAs by AM with controllable microstructures and outstanding mechanical properties for industrial applications.
