In 1995, Yeh suggested the formation of an alloy made up of at least five metallic elements which have large mixing entropy solutions with many elements forming solide alloys. This alloy appeared because traditional alloys are characteised by high fragility and are difficult to process. High entropy alloys are alloys which have approximately equal concentrations, formed by a group of 5 to 11 elements majority in composition, mole fraction of each major metallic element in the alloy is between 5% and 30%. During the research it has been proved that this alloy has a high hardness and it is also corrosion proof and also resistance and good thermal stability It should be mentioned that High Entropy Alloys are characterized as alloys consisting of roughly equal concentrations of at least five metallic elements and are claimed to favor close-packed, disordered structures due to high configurational entropy. Such crystal structures, e.g. face-centered cubic (FCC), are advantageous in that they should offer multiple active slip systems usually observed in ductile metals and alloys. This opens the door to a large number of rich chemistries which would otherwise contain unacceptable volume fractions of intermetallic compounds to be useful in structural applications That way in this paper will carry out research to one specific high entropy alloy, we analyze the physical, chemical, electrical, magnetic, corrosion resistance of these materials, heat treatments corresponding and plastic deformation. This paper is divided into several chapters which will present application domains, and also a number of conclusions. Key words : high entropy alloys, properties of alloys, application domains, corrosion proof, thermal stability
In this paper characteristics of an AlMg/AlN composite produced in-situ and processed in a flowing N2 atmosphere is investigated. Some critical parameters such as the manufacturing process temperature, the percentage of the magnesium consumed, the flowing reactive gas flow and the time for completing the manufacturing are considered as variables for the parametric investigation. Moreover, the effect of different amount of Mg employed has been also investigated, since Mg acts as a catalyst at the surface both for the gas/liquid and solid/liquid systems. Traditional methods were used for the basic characterization of the composite. The microstructure of the composite was investigated by optical and scanning electron microscopy (OM, SEM). SEM analysis was performed in order to observe the microstructural evolution as a function of the Mg content and to identify some reasons of the presence of porosity or any irregularities within the metal matrix. The evolution of mechanical properties, in terms of microhardness, at different percentage of Mg were monitored. By EDS technique the distribution of the elements was obtained. Furthermore, employing an optimization process, uniform dispersion of the strengthening (AlN) particles in the metal matrix with homogeneous properties along the composite material is obtained. Based on the aforementioned statements, it can be concluded that the reactions between Al, Mg and the N2 atmosphere induce spontaneous infiltration in the metal matrix. The complete mix of properties and experimentally assessed parameters can be used for industrial purpose manufacturing design and development.
To obtain SAF we have focused research on Al-Mg alloys with different concentrations of magnesium and silicon carbide (SiC). To obtain these materials has been chosen different gas blowing method (N2, SO2 and C4H10). It was observed that the best results in terms of pore volume gave blowing with C4H10. The samples obtained were analyzed by optical and electron microscopy.
High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a newly developed family of multi-component alloys composed of several major alloying elements, such as copper, nickel, aluminum, cobalt, chromium, iron, silicon, titanium, etc. The fact that HEA alloys is formed participation molar is approximately equal with at least five elements, entropy configuration is double that of binary systems, entitles us to call them "high entropy alloys'. Recent studies suggested that the refractory HEAs exhibited great promise for high temperature structural materials. This alloy can be processed and analyzed as an ordinary material AlNiMnZnCu high-entropy alloys are prepared by an induction furnace. The microstructure and properties of alloy samples were examined by SEM and testing machine for obtained materials. Mechanical tests were made with a INSTRON 3382 machine.
The primary objective of the present research was to provide a fundamental understanding of the processing science necessary to fabricate the Aluminum Nitride (AIN) reinforced Aluminum-Magnesium (AIMg) composites via Reactive Gas (N2) Injection in the AIMg alloy melt. Aluminum nitride (AlN) matrix composites were prepared by a novel approach. It was possible to produce a considerable amount of AIN particles in the AI alloy matrix at a reaction temperature as low as 900 °C utilizing the in-situ nitration reaction process developed in the present study. The volume fraction of AIN increases almost linearly with increasing the magnesium (Mg) content in the alloy and the reaction time. The shapes of AIN particles were found to have different forms, whose sizes were in the range from submicron to a few microns. From the present study, it is concluded that the new innovative in-situ nitridation process developed in the present study can be successfully applied for processing of high strength AIMg/AIN composites. For particles and composite structure characterization some methods were used, including: scanning microscopy, quantitative analysis of selected composite regions and XRD analyses. Composite structure and reinforcement distribution was compared with use of quantitative analysis. Morphology and diffraction pattern of aluminum nitride particles was shown. Typical structure of studied composites with microanalysis results was indicated. Aluminum nitride dispersion change was represented.
