“…The HEA powders are reinforced on Al composites to improve microhardness, UTS, yield strength, elongation, and wear resistance. The Orowan mechanism, Hall-Petch relationship, and Zener pinning effect are behind the enhanced properties [ [17] , [18] , [19] ]. FSP is used to reinforce Al 0·8 CoCrFeNi HEA powders on Al matrix composites to improve hardness, UTS, and yield strength by 56.1 %, 22 %, and 42 % respectively.…”
