Enhancement of strength-ductility trade-off in a high-entropy alloy through a heterogeneous structure
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The improvement in strength is usually accompanied by ductility loss in structural materials, which is a long-standing conflict referred as the strength-ductility trade-off. Here we present a heterogeneous-structures-architecting strategy, in which we design bulk high-entropy alloys with the largely-enhanced strength-ductility trade-off, possessing a yield strength of 711 MPa, a tensile strength of 928 MPa, and a uniform elongation of 30.3%. Such an enhancement of the strength-ductility trade-off is due to the microstructure comprised with a combination of the non-recrystallized and recrystallized grains arranged in complex heterogeneous structures with a characteristic dimension spanning from the submicron scale to the coarse-sized scale. The heterogeneous structures in the high-entropy alloy are produced by cold-rolling, followed by intermediate-temperature-annealing. Our results demonstrate that heterogeneous designs can be accomplished effectively by simple thermal treatments, which offer a design strategy towards a new generation of high-strength and high-ductility high-entropy alloys.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
