Evading intermediate temperature embrittlement of FeCoCrNiMn high entropy alloy via N-doping

High entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit high strength and excellent ductility at both room and low temperatures. The loss of ductility with increasing the tensile temperature above room temperature has been widely observed in single phase face-centered cubic structured HEAs. In this work, a N and Si dope...

description High entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit high strength and excellent ductility at both room and low temperatures. The loss of ductility with increasing the tensile temperature above room temperature has been widely observed in single phase face-centered cubic structured HEAs. In this work, a N and Si doped FeCoCrNiMn-(N,Si) HEA with preexisting nano-sized Cr2N particles was fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and subsequent cold-rolling and annealing treatment. Tensile testing was conducted on the alloy at 298 K, 573 K, 773 K, 873 K, and 973 K, respectively. It has been shown that the FeCoCrNiMn-(N,Si) alloy with preexisting Cr2N phase exhibits a steady ductility with increasing the tensile temperature. The intermediate temperature embrittlement is evaded in the FeCoCrNiMn-(N,Si) alloy via N-doping. The widely reported loss of ductility with increasing deformation temperature was avoided in present FeCoCrNiMn-(N,Si) HEA by shifting fast segregation of element Cr from GBs into preexisting Cr2N phase due to the high affinity between N and Cr elements, leading to the increases in the content and size of Cr2N particles after high temperature deformation.
