摘 要:Heterogeneous nanostructured metals are emerging strategies for achieving both high strength and ductility,which are particularly attractive for high entropy alloys(HEAs)to combine the synergistic enhancements from multielement composition,grain boundaries,and heterogeneity ***,the construction of heterogeneous nanostructured HEAs remains elusive and can involve delicate processes that are not practically *** we report using composition design(i.e.,enthalpy engineering)to create hierarchical,nanostructured HEAs as demonstrated by adding Ni into FeCrCoAlTi_(0.5)*** strong enthalpic interaction between(Ni,Co)and(Al,Ti)pairs in FeCrCoAlTi_(0.5)Nix(x=0.5–1.5)induced phase partitions into B2(ordered phase,hard)matrix and A2(disordered phase,soft)precipitates,resulting in a hierarchical structure of B2 grains and sub-grains of near-coherent A2 nanodomains(~12.5 nm)divided by A2 interdendritic *** a result,the FeCrCoAlTi_(0.5)Ni_(0.5)HEA with this unique hierarchical nanostructure exhibits the best combination of strength and plasticity,i.e.,a 2-fold increase in compressive strength(2.60 GPa)and significant enhancement of plastic strain(15.8%)as compared with the original FeCrCoAlTi_(0.5)*** analysis and simulation study reveal the phase partition process during cooling induced by an enthalpy-driven order-disorder transition while the order parameters illustrate the strong ordering in(Ni,Co)(Al,Ti)-rich B2 phase and high entropy mixing in less interactive FeCrCo-rich A2 *** work therefore provides a strategy for hierarchical nanostructured HEA formation by composition design considering enthalpy and entropy interplay.
