Al 0.3 CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) was additively manufactured by powder-bed selective laser melting (SLM) with emphasis on its microstructure and tensile properties. Al 0.3 CoCrFeNi showed excellent printability, enabling fabrication of fully dense products. The microstructure of the SLM as-built HEA consisted of a single-phase disordered face-centered cubic solid solution with fine columnar grains elongated along the build direction. The characteristic features of the as-built microstructure were a <110> fiber texture aligned toward the build direction and a large dislocation density. As a consequence, printed Al 0.3 CoCrFeNi HEA exhibited superior tensile strength in comparison with as-cast or wrought counterparts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
