Abstract
Eutectic high-entropy alloys(EHEAs),as a classification of high-entropy alloys(HEAs),have received worldwide interest due to superior fluidity and attractive properties.However,other than the FCC+B2 EHEA system,most other reported EHEA systems show inherent brittleness during tensile loading at room temperature,which limits their advanced engineering application.In this work,a novel spheroidization+recrystallization(SR)strategy for synergistic strengthening and plasticizing of the brit-tle CoCrFeNi2(V6B3Si)o.149 was proposed.The superior combination of strength and ductility was achieved by tailoring spherical M3B2+recrystallized FCC duplex phases.Based on this strategy,the yield strength and elongation were improved from 565±15 MPa and 2.3%±03%to 841±24-1278±20 MPa and 14.7%±0.5%-22.5%±1.2%,with an increase of 48%-126%and 539%-878%,respectively.The synergistic increment in the strength and ductility of SR-FCC+M3B2 EHEAs exceeds all reported fur-ther strengthened FCC+B2 EHEAs.Meanwhile,such simple thermo-mechanical processing is suitable for large-scale industrial production.The high strength results from the back stress provided by the dual heterogeneity of FCC grain sizes and soft FCC/hard M3B2.The good ductility is attributed to the dislo-cation movement path released by spheroidized M3B2 and a more uniform stress distribution caused by the recrystallized FCC.This work provides a new strategy for synergistic strengthening and plasticizing of the brittle EHEAs to meet industrial reliability requirements.
