| Abstract Scope |
Five Cantor-based equiatomic quaternary alloys, undergoing identical homogenization (1150 C/ 24 hours) and thermomechanical treatments (30 pct upsetting in compression followed by 900 C/I hour) generated widely different microstructures with significant changes in the resultant compressive, tensile, strengths and fracture toughness. These results demonstrate that the composition plays a pivotal role in the properties of the alloys. The fracture toughness ranged from 25 MPam1/2 for the CrMnFeCo alloy to 340 MPam1/2 for the MnFeCoNi alloy. The progression of the cracks and principal toughening and embrittling mechanisms are analyzed for the five equiatomic Cantor-based alloys. |
