Description

Ultrahigh-strength-plasticity matched high-entropy alloy and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of metal materials, in particular to an ultrahigh strength-plasticity matched high-entropy alloy and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The high-entropy alloy (HEA) has a large number of elements and high content of each alloy element, so that the mixing entropy of the alloy is large, the alloy elements tend to be disorderly arranged to form a simple Body Centered Cubic (BCC) or Face Centered Cubic (FCC) phase, and the novel alloy material has wide attention in the research field and has a wide application prospect due to excellent comprehensive properties such as high hardness, high strength, high temperature creep resistance, high temperature oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, high resistivity, good electromagnetic property and the like.
In recent years, the strengthening of FCC-type FeCoCrNi-based high-entropy alloys (i.e., multi-principal-element high-entropy alloys formed by using four metals of iron, cobalt, chromium, and nickel as main elements, in which the matrix components are mainly iron, cobalt, chromium, and nickel, and the lattice type is a face-centered cubic FCC lattice) has been widely studied. The results show that the formation of precipitates is promoted by doping of the alloying elements and thermo-mechanical processing, which is very effective for strengthening such alloys. However, precipitates also tend to cause ductility degradation, which limits the alloy to achieving excellent tensile properties with the desired strength-ductility "tradeoff".
The most commonly used alloying element in high entropy alloys is aluminum (Al) or titanium (Ti). The addition of these elements generally results in the formation of geometrically close-packed phases (GCP phase, including γ '-Ni3Al phase, η -Ni3Ti phase, and α -Ni2AlTi phase, where γ' -Ni3Al phase is of the crystal lattice type LI2 (ordered body-centered cubic lattice) and has the chemical composition Ni3Al, η -Ni3Ti phase is of the crystal lattice type ordered close-packed hexagonal lattice and has the chemical composition Ni3Ti, and α -Ni2AlTi phase is of the crystal lattice type face-centered cubic structure and has the chemical composition Ni2 AlTi). The crystal lattice of these phases is in accordance with the matrix phase. Studies by zhaoning Lu et al show that low lattice mismatch lowers the nucleation barrier of the precipitated phase, allowing the creation and stabilization of a nano-precipitated phase. By optimizing the Al and Ti concentrations, nanoscale coherent LI 2-gamma 'phase (gamma' -LI2-Ni3Al phase, the lattice type of which is LI2 (ordered body-centered cubic lattice), chemical components of which are Ni3Al and are a precipitation phase and distributed in the matrix of the alloy) particles are precipitated in the CoCrFeNi-based high-entropy alloy. The fine coherent precipitated phases contribute to the enhanced strength-ductility synergy. For example, LI2 type nanoparticle-reinforced (FeCoNi) 86-Al7Ti7 HEA (i.e., a high entropy alloy that is reinforced by a γ' -LI2-Ni3Al phase, whose crystal lattice is coherent with the matrix, is coherent-reinforced, not only increasing the strength, but also not adversely affecting the plasticity) can reach a yield strength of about 1.0GPa, and has a ductility of about 50%. The formation of LI2- γ 'nanoprecipitates provides an outstanding contribution to the strengthening of the high entropy alloy, resulting in a high strength and ductility combination with Ti playing a key role in the precipitation of the γ' phase (i.e. the γ '-LI2-Ni3Al phase), while Al improves the stability of the γ' phase.
Recently, some small atomic radius alloying elements, represented by molybdenum (Mo), have been used to strengthen HEA. The addition of Mo can produce different types of topologically closely packed phases (TCP phases, including σ -phase, μ -phase, and Laves phases, etc.) depending on their doping content and heat treatment parameters. Unlike nickel-based superalloys, these phases in FCC-HEA are effective in strengthening the alloy without creating severe brittleness. This is because solid solution FCC matrix phases generally exhibit very high plasticity and retain some toughness after precipitation strengthening. The results show that the sigma and mu phases precipitated in CoCrFeNiMo0.3 HEA by thermomechanical working effectively strengthen the alloy, resulting in a good combination of tensile strength of 1.2GPa and elongation of 19%. In addition to Mo, HEA can be strengthened by adding elements such as niobium (Nb), manganese (Mn), and vanadium (V) to create TCP precipitate phases. Interestingly, the addition of Nb can form TCP in HEA, while promoting the formation of geometrically close-packed phases of γ', and ε. However, nb does not sufficiently exert its effect in reinforcing the strength-ductility synergistic effect. Generally, the tensile yield strength is lower than 1000MPa, and the elongation is higher (15-55%).
In order to effectively strengthen FeCoCrNi HEA (namely the Fe-Cr-Co-Ni-based high-entropy alloy), the structure design has important significance. A strategy for optimizing precipitation and introducing a non-uniform microstructure by thermomechanical processing is proposed. The eutectic AlCoCrFeNi2.1 alloy with the non-uniform structure can achieve the tensile yield strength of about 1800MPa and the elongation of about 5 percent through low-temperature rolling and warm-rolling treatment. This strength enhancement relies on dislocation strengthening and precipitation strengthening and exhibits an unprecedented strength-plastic match.
Although the above tensile properties have a good strength-plastic match, their low elongation, negative strain hardening rate and difficulty in mass production limit make it difficult to apply to practical industrial structural materials.
However, the heterogeneous microstructure may produce a synergistic strengthening effect, which follows:
σ 0.2 =σ 1 +Δσ G +Δσ S +Δσ P +Δσ D (1)
wherein σ 0.2 is the enhanced yield strength; σ 1 is the original yield strength; Δ σ S, Δ σ G, Δ σ D, and Δ σ P represent solid solution strengthening, grain boundary hardening, dislocation strengthening, and precipitation strengthening, respectively. After the thermal mechanical processing, the high-entropy alloy can obtain a non-uniform microstructure and shows excellent strengthening effect.
Therefore, obtaining a CoCrFeNi-based high entropy alloy with an excellent combination of strength and ductility remains a challenge in the research field. In practice, it is of great importance that the prepared high-entropy alloy has sufficiently high strength, ductility and strain hardening rate.

In order to more intuitively show the fact that after the auxiliary elements, namely W, mo, al, ti and Nb are added into the main elements to obtain a multi-main-element alloy product, and then the multi-main-element alloy product is subjected to forging, rolling, annealing and aging process treatment, the obtained high-entropy alloy not only has greatly improved strength, but also maintains high elongation and positive hardening rate, the following description is further provided in combination with FIGS. 1 to 4:
fig. 1 is a scanning electron microscope picture and an electron backscatter diffraction analysis picture of samples prepared in example 1, example 8 and example 9 of the present application, wherein (a), (b) and (c) represent the high-entropy alloy 1 in example 1, the high-entropy alloy 8 in example 8 and the high-entropy alloy 9 in example 9, respectively, and as shown in fig. 1, after 90% rolling, annealing and aging, phase particles (indicated by yellow arrows) rich in (Ti, nb) are observed in a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) picture and arranged along the rolling direction, and no cracks are found around.
After the annealing aging treatment, the shear band recrystallized and the sigma phase precipitated in submicron size (indicated by red arrows). In this case, shear bands were still observed under SEM.
Recrystallized grains were well observed in the EBSD-IPF pattern (electron back-scattered-inverse) after the annealing aging treatment. The KAM diagram (Kernel Average Misorientation) shows that the dislocation strain in the recrystallized region is reduced and the recrystallized area is small. Under SEM observation, as the annealing temperature increased, the recrystallized region expanded and the shear band disappeared, while the number of submicron sigma phase particles was the largest produced by annealing at 825 c and decreased after increasing to 850 c. Annealing at high temperature, the EBSD plot clearly shows recrystallized grains with very high index of separation due to more complete recrystallization. The KAM plot shows a further reduction in dislocation strain, indicating that the alloy recrystallizes more fully after annealing at higher temperatures.
Fig. 2 to 4 are tensile engineering stress-strain curves of the high-entropy alloys prepared in examples 1, 8 and 9, wherein the ordinate is stress and the abscissa is strain, and as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the yield strengths of the high-entropy alloys in examples 1, 8 and 9 of the present application are all 1700MPa or more, the tensile strengths are 2.0GPa or more, and the strengths are high. With respect to plasticity, after the alloy is subjected to thermo-mechanical treatment, a certain plasticity is still retained, which can meet a certain engineering application.
Comparing the three stress-strain curves, it can be seen that the high-entropy alloy 1 subjected to the heat preservation at 800 ℃ for 30 minutes, water quenching and air cooling aging treatment after the heat preservation at 500 ℃ for 48 hours has the highest strength, the tensile strength of the high-entropy alloy is 2606MPa, the yield strength of the high-entropy alloy is 2486MPa, and the plasticity of the high-entropy alloy is 3.5 percent.
The high-entropy alloy with the best plasticity is the high-entropy alloy 9 subjected to water quenching after being kept at 850 ℃ for 30 minutes, and the elongation is 17.9 percent, but the yield strength is only 1138MPa. The alloy with better strong plastic bonding is high-entropy alloy 8 which is water quenched after being kept at 825 ℃ for 30 minutes, the yield strength of the alloy is 2221MPa, and the elongation of the alloy is 11.2 percent.
While the present invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof as defined in the appended claims.
