Abstract

Gas-tungsten-arc-welded (GTAW) Al0.5CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness, and tensile testing. The weld metal having refined equiaxed and elongated columnar dendritic microstructure experienced 6.38 pct reduction in strength and marginally reduced hardness compared to the base metal (BM). Lower work hardening with enhanced relative slip distance, which was observed through the Kocks–Mecking plot and slip distance–true strain plots, was attributed to the reduced bcc fraction in the weld.
