Molecular dynamics study on the strengthening mechanisms of Cr-Fe-Co-Ni high-entropy alloys based on the generalized stacking fault energy

Asker Jarlov et al.

Summary: The correlation between the generalized stacking fault energy and the strengthening mechanisms of Cr-Fe-Co-Ni high-entropy alloys during uniaxial tensile deformation is investigated. The results show that the increase in Cr and Fe content decreases the generalized stacking fault energy while the Co and Ni content has the opposite effect. A linear correlation is identified between the unstable stacking fault energy and the yield stress. The composition of the alloy plays a crucial role in enhancing the yield strength and the efficiency of strengthening mechanisms.

Sang Hun Shim et al.

Summary: The addition of nitrogen significantly affects the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of CoCrFeMnNi alloys, suppressing grain growth and enhancing alloy performance. It results in excellent tensile strength and elongation with substantial strain hardening, showing strong temperature dependence in yield strength likely due to friction stress induced by temperature-dependent obstacles.

Summary: This study demonstrates for the first time the effect of interstitial boron and boron-rich precipitate on the deformation mechanisms of FCC high-entropy alloys. Introducing interstitial boron atoms can transform the dominant deformation mechanism from dislocation slip to deformation twins, while the formation of borides leads to a reversion to dislocation slip.

S. W. Xin et al.

Summary: Bulk nanocrystalline boron-doped high entropy alloys with ultrahigh hardness and strength were fabricated, mainly attributed to solid solution, precipitation, grain boundary, and dislocation strengthening mechanisms. The high resistivity was related to the high volume fractions of grain boundaries and phase interfaces, point defects and dislocations near grain boundaries, and lattice distortions.
