Description

Method for regulating and controlling sigma phase of high-entropy alloy by using magnetic field
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of high-entropy alloy material treatment, and particularly relates to a method for regulating and controlling a sigma phase of a high-entropy alloy by using a magnetic field.
Background
The conventional alloy is mainly composed of one or two metal elements, and is obtained by adding a small amount of other alloying elements to obtain an alloy with certain special properties, such as iron-based steel materials, aluminum-based aluminum alloys, nickel-based alloys and the like. The high-entropy alloy is a brand-new alloy system proposed since 2004, and generally consists of five or more alloy components, wherein the atomic percent of each component is between 5 and 35 percent, and the existence of trace elements with the atomic percent less than 5 percent is allowed. The addition of more principal elements will result in alloys composed of more phases, including ordered phases, complex intermetallics (σ and Laves, etc.) and even face-centered cubic (FCC), body-centered cubic (BCC), Hexagonal Close Packed (HCP) derived ordered structures. These unique structures determine that the high-entropy alloy has excellent properties such as high hardness, high strength, high wear resistance, excellent high-temperature and low-temperature properties, good fatigue and creep properties and the like.
The sigma phase is a defect that is widely present in nickel-base superalloys and stainless steels (ZHao J C, Larsen M, Ravikumar V. phase prediction and time-temperature-transformation diagramm of HastelloyX [ J ]. Materials Science and engineering A,2000,293: 112-. The brittle phase can obviously deteriorate the mechanical property of the alloy and influence the use of the alloy. Currently, the researchers found that the sigma phase also widely exists in the high-entropy alloy after the medium-temperature treatment. Taking AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy as an example, the generation and disappearance of sigma phase can occur in the thermal treatment at about 610 ℃ and 990 ℃, and the mechanical property and the magnetic property are obviously changed: the BCC phase transforms into the FCC and sigma phases upon heat treatment at 610 deg.C, whereas the sigma phase transforms into the FCC and BCC phases upon heat treatment at 990 deg.C (ZHao C D, Li J, LiuY, et al. Tally mechanical and magnetic properties of AlCoCrFeNi high-entry alloy via phase transformation [ J ]. Journal of materials Science and Technology,2021,73: 83-90). At present, a method for regulating sigma phase and improving material performance is very urgent to find.
