dc.description.abstract | The present work aims at revealing the effect of grain size on the post processing
mechanical behavior of the equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA) upon
severe plastic deformation (SPD). SPD has been applied using the equal channel angular
extrusion (ECAE) process where the billets are extruded through a 90° corner die
achieving near simple shear deformation. The microstructure and mechanical properties
of successfully extruded billets were reported using Scanning Electron Microscopy
(SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy
(EDS), tension experiments and microhardness measurements. The effects of extrusion
conditions, such as temperature, processing route and extrusion rate on the microstructure
and mechanical properties, are investigated for the extrusion and flow plane of each billet.
The ECAE deformation of CoCrFeMnNi at high homologous temperatures results in
deformation twinning. Refined mean grain size leads to significant increase in tensile
flow stresses at room temperature. Further work is needed to find processing schedules at
low temperatures to refine the grain size further to determine the lower limit of grain size
one can achieve in bulk HEAs. | en |
