The paper presents an investigation that was conducted to determine the possibility of the occurrence of the process of dynamic recrystallization in 2024 alloy during monotonic tensile and creep tests at the elevated temperatures of 100 °C, 200 °C, and 300 °C. As-extruded material was subjected to creep process with constant force at elevated temperatures, until two varying degrees of deformation were reached. After cooling at ambient temperature, the pre-deformed material was subjected to monotonic and fatigue tests as well as metallographic analysis. The process of dynamic recrystallization was determined in monotonic tests to occur at low strain rate (0.0015/s) only at the temperature of 300 °C. However, in the creep tests, this process occurred with varying efficiency, both during creep at 200 °C and 300 °C. Dynamic recrystallization was indicated to have a significant influence on the monotonic and cyclic properties of the material.
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have gained significant interest in recent years because of their outstanding properties. The AlCoCrFeNi alloy is one of the most studied HEAs. The effect of the manufacturing methods and heat treatment on the properties of the high-entropy AlCoCrFeNi alloy is under intense scrutiny. The effect of varying component content on properties of the alloy is frequently analysed. Aluminium is most popular due to its impact on alloy microstructure and occurrence of phases. Research is also conducted on the influence of alloying additives, such as boron and titanium, on the properties of the AlCoCrFeNi alloy. High-entropy alloys also have excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures. Excellent structural and functional properties make them suitable for application in the most demanding conditions. The research conducted on HEAs still provides a lot of new and valuable information on the properties and structures of these alloys. This article summarizes the most important information about HEAs, specifically the AlCoCrFeNi alloy.
