Simultaneous enhancement of strength and ductility via microband formation and nanotwinning in an L12-strengthened alloy

Metallic alloys with high strength and large ductility are required for extreme structural applications.However,the achievement of ultrahigh strength often results in a substantially decreased ductility.Here,we report a strat-egy to achieve the strength-ductility synergy by tailoring the alloy composition to control the local stacking fault energy(SFE)of the face-centered-cubic(fcc)matrix in an L1 2-strengthened superlattice alloy.As a proof of con-cept,based on the thermodynamic calculations,we developed a non-equiatomic CoCrNi2(Al0.2Nb0 2)alloy using phase separation to create a near-equiatomic low SFE disordered CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy matrix with in situ formed high-content coherent Ni3(Al,Nb)-type ordered nanoprecipitates(~12 nm).The alloy achieves a high tensile strength up to 1.6 GPa and a uniform ductility of 33%.The low SFE of the fcc matrix promotes the formation of nanotwins and parallel microbands during plastic deformation which could remarkably enhance the strain hardening capacity.This work provides a strategy for developing ultrahigh-strength alloys with large uniform ductility.
