Abstract:

The effects of boron content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of FeCoNiCrAl$_{0.1}$B$_{x }(x = 0{\sim}$0.1) high-entropy alloy were investigated in this study. The results suggested that the FeCoNiCrAl$_{0.1}$B$_{x}$ high-entropy alloy consisted of single face-centered cubic (FCC) $\gamma $ phases when $x\le 0.03$, whereas it consisted of FCC $\gamma $ phase, trace of ordered FCC phase, and boride when $x\ge 0.05$. With the addition of boron atoms in the alloy, the grain size of the alloy refined, tensile strength of the alloy increased, and elongation of the alloy decreased with an increase in the boron content. The fractographs of the FeCoNiCrAl$_{0.1}$B$_{x}$ high-entropy alloy exhibited all transgranular fracture patterns during tensile testing in vacuum.

Key words: eCoNiCrAl$_{0.1}$B$_{x}$ high-entropy alloy, boron content, mechanical properties
