In this paper, alloys with compositions of Mgx(MnAlZnCu)100-x (x: atomic percentage; x=20, 33, 43, 45.6 and 50 respectively) were designed by using the strategy of equiatomic ratio and high entropy of mixing. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the new high entropy alloy were studied. The alloys were prepared by induction melting and then were cast in a copper mold in air. The alloy samples were examined by microhardness tester, XRD, SEM, thermal analyzer and testing machine for material strength. Alloys were composed mainly of h.c.p phase and Al-Mn icosahedral quasicrystal phases. The alloys exhibited moderate densities which were from 4.29g•cm-3 to 2.20g•cm-3, high hardness (429HV-178HV) and high compression strength (500MPa-400MPa) at room temperature. The extensibility was increased with Mg from 20at% (atomic percentage) to 50at%.
In this paper, alloy with composition of MgMnAlZnCu was designed by using the strategy of equiatomic ratio and high entropy of mixing. The microstructure and mechanical parameters of the new high entropy alloy cooling in three conditions were studied. The alloy was prepared by induction melting and then it was cast in copper molds in air, water and salt water respectively. The microstructure and properties of alloy samples were examined by microhardness tester, XRD, TEM, SEM and testing machine for material strength. The results showed that the alloy was composed mainly of h.c.p and Al-Mn quasicrystal phases. The alloy exhibit high hardness (431HV-467HV) and high compression strength (428MPa-450MPa) at room temperature. The alloy was fragile and the strains were from 3.29% to 5.53%.
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.
