| Abstract Scope |
Thermodynamic modeling has been employed to design this HEA with large L12 volume fraction. Thermo-mechanical processing by isothermal annealing of the conventionally processed bulk cold-rolled alloy directly at precipitation temperatures, has been applied to produce a high density of uniformly distributed L12 nanorods within refined FCC grains, resulting from concomitant recrystallization and discontinuous precipitation processes. The nanorod morphology of the discontinuous L12 product has been established from three-dimensional atom probe tomography. The refined grains result in a complete coverage of the microstructure with discontinuously precipitated intermetallic nanorods. This nanorod strengthened HEA exhibits an exceptionally high room temperature yield strength of ~1630 MPa, good tensile ductility of ~15%, and an ultimate tensile strength of ~1720 MPa. These results open a new strategy for design of fine-grained microstructures strengthened via ordered intermetallic phases, exploiting the beneficial effects of discontinuous precipitation, for achieving very high room temperature tensile strengths while maintaining good ductility. |
