Eeffect of sintering temperature and holding time on microstructures and properties of AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high entropy alloy by binder jetting additive manufacturing
The AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high entropy alloy(EHEA)is known for its high fracture strength and excellent fatigue resistance.In this research,we employed binder jetting additive manufacturing(BJAM)to fabricate the alloy.The influence of sintering temperature(1290℃to 1350℃)and holding time(1 to 5 h)on the microstructural evolution and tensile properties of the EHEA was systematically investigated.The results demonstrate that the sintering temperature and holding time directly influence the performance of the sintered high entropy alloy by affecting porosity and grain size.A decrease in porosity was observed concurrent with an increase in grain size,with their interplay exerting a pronounced effect on the mechanical properties of the sintered components.Remarkably,the sample sintered at 1350℃for 3 h achieves elongation rate of 7.09%and relative density of 92.5%.Furthermore,the sample sintered at 1350℃for 1 h exhibits a yield strength of 600.19 MPa and tensile strength of 1021.32 MPa.
