Heterostructure High Entropy Alloys in the CoNiFeMn-Mo System Intended for Deep Drawing Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

High-entropy alloys (HEAs), owing to their exceptionally favourable strength–ductility balance, are regarded as promising candidates for applications in the energy, automotive, and aerospace industries. A defining characteristic of face-centered cubic (FCC) high-entropy alloys is their low stacking fault energy, which facilitates deformation via mechanical twinning and promotes the activation of transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) and twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) mechanisms. The present study focuses on the development of a heterostructured material composed of CoNiFeMn and (CoNiFeMn)₉₅Mo₅ alloys. Furthermore, the Erichsen cupping test was performed to assess the formability of the produced material and to evaluate its suitability for deep drawing applications.
