Abstract

Al0.5CoCrNiTi0.5 high-entropy alloy was synthesized by vacuum arc melting in a copper mold. This alloy was aged at 773 K to 1473 K (500 °C to 1200 °C) for 24 hours to investigate the microstructure and hardness. The hardness of the as-cast alloy is HV743, and it exhibits a dendritic structure, in which dendrite is composed of body-centered cubic (bcc), face-centered cubic (fcc), and σ phases, and interdendrite is an eutectic structure consisting of bcc and order bcc phases. Apparent age hardening appears at 873 K to 1173 K (600 °C to 900 °C), and no age softening occurs even after 1473 K (1200 °C) aging. The age hardening of this alloy is attributed to the transformation of the bcc phase to σ phase. Detailed variations of hardness and the microstructure of aged alloys are reported in this article.
