Abstract: | High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a novel class of alloys, which emerged in 2004, containing five or more constituent elements in equiatomic or near-equiatomic ratio. On the one hand, this alloying concept opens up a vast compositional range and consequently a wide range of interesting properties, and on the other hand, it represents a break with classical metallurgy as there is no differentiation between solute and solvent species. The present thesis focuses on the change in properties by changing the overall allying concept from conventional alloys to HEAs. Diffusion couples or discrete sample compositions were used to investigate the thermodynamic stability and solid solution hardening effects in face- centered cubic (fcc) CrMnFeCoNi based HEAs. Diffusion couples were produced to investigate the phase stability as well as solid solution hardening effects within wide chemical gradients. The individual solubility limits of the different constituents are identified and discussed within the context of different phase stability models. Solid solution hardening was investigated up the phase boundary with an emphasis on the effects of the different constituents on the hardening behavior. The experimental nanoindentation hardness was analyzed using the classical Labusch solid solution hardening model as well as the more recent model from Varvenne and Curtin, which is specifically designed for equiatomic fcc HEAs. Discrete sample compositions based on the pseudo-binary (CrMnFeCo)1-xNix HEA system were used to study the transition behavior from a pure element over dilute solid solutions to HEAs with an focus on the effects of solutes on the microstructural refinement during deformation and on the microstructural stability during subsequent annealing. After high pressure torsion deformation, an inverse correlation was found between saturation grain size and solid solution hardening contribution for both dilute solid solutions as well as HEAs, i.e., the higher the solid solution hardening contribution, the lower the saturation grain size. Additionally, alloys with a higher solute concentration show an enhanced thermal stability in terms of grain growth, which can be attributed to the kinetic stabilization due to pinning effects (Solute and Zener drag). |
