Abstract

In this paper, a new CrFe2Ni2Mo0.3Nbx (x values in molar ratio, x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) family was prepared to investigate the effect of intermetallic compounds upon its microstructure and tensile properties. The microstructure evolved from an initial single-phase FCC solid solution structure (x=0) to a hypoeutectic microstructure (x = 0.25), then to a near-eutectic microstructure (x = 0.5) and finally to a hypereutectic microstructure (x = 0.75), where the lamellar eutectic structure consisted of a dual phase of FCC solid solution and C14-type Laves phase. The tensile test results showed that the C14-type Laves phase significantly affected the tensile properties of the EHEAs. With increase in element Nb, the ultimate tensile strength increased firstly and subsequently decreased till with 8.62 at.% (x=0.5) Nb addition. The CrFe2Ni2Mo0.3Nb0.25 hypoeutectic high-entropy alloy exhibited a well combination of the ultimate tensile strength (868MPa) and an appropriate ductility (17%), which can be attributed to the balance of FCC and Laves phase, the second-phase strengthening provided by Laves phase as well as the solid solution strengthening resulted from adding element Nb in FCC solid solution.
