Abstract

There is a lot of interest in examining high-entropy alloys (HEAs) due to the high work hardening and, consequently, increased strength and ductility synergy. In this research, the addition of 5 at.% Al element to the MnCrCoFeNi alloy and its effect on work hardening, deformation activation energy, critical temperature, and work-hardening exponent were investigated. For this purpose, the alloy was melted in a vacuum arc remelting furnace. After casting, homogenization, and cold rolling, the samples were annealed at 1100°C for 1 h. The produced alloy is a single-phase solid solution with a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal lattice. Examining the work-hardening diagrams indicates that twinning exists in the microstructure of the alloy and is involved in the deformation mechanism. By adding 5 at.% aluminum to the Cantor alloy, the work-hardening exponent increased by 20% at room temperature and 200% at 600°C, recrystallization temperature increased up to ~ 200°C, and the activation energy of the deformation, ~ 445 kJ/mol, was calculated. The steady-state stress equation was also calculated versus to the strain rate, temperature, and the Zener parameter.
