Abstract

High-entropy alloy particles have excellent mechanical properties and have potential uses as reinforcing materials. In this study, AZ91D-based composites reinforced with AlCrFeCoNi particles were fabricated using a squeeze casting technology. The average grain size of the AZ91D–AlCrFeCoNi composites was reduced from 95.4 μm (0 vol.%) to 81.5 μm (10 vol.%). Several particle clusters occurred in the 5 vol.% and 10 vol.% composites. Transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that strong interfacial bonding between AlCrFeCoNi and α-Mg was present due to the formation of semi-coherent interfaces. The AlCrFeCoNi particles were found to have a substantial influence on the mechanical properties of the composite; it was found that composites with 3 vol.% AlCrFeCoNi had the highest yield strength (95.1 MPa) and tensile strength (180.0 MPa) as well as the largest elongation 1.1%; the composites with 10 vol.% AlCrFeCoNi particles resulted in the samples with the highest micro-hardness (105.2 HV). The excellent mechanical properties that were obtained could be attributed to the refined grain size and the stress transfer between the AlCrFeCoNi particles and the Mg matrix.
