Abstract

AlxCrFeNi (x = 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0) EHEAs were introduced by different coupling structures. Grain refinement triggered the continuous improvement of ductility with the increase of Al content. Double strengthening phases and grain refinement effect could be evolution of different coupling structures in strain-hardening-rate response of AlxCrFeNi. Specifically, alloy’s structure evolved from the coupling of mesh structure and labyrinth structure to completely labyrinth eutectic structure with the increase of Al content from 1.25 to 1.75, and the compressive mechanical properties appeared acute increased. Meanwhile, the ductility, yield strength and ultimate strength of Al1.75 reached 11.7%, 1325.4 MPa and 1621.0 MPa, respectively, which was significantly excellent compared to Al1.25 and Al1.5. It ascribed to the more stable combination of the two-phase cross labyrinth structure and stronger resistance to external impact.
