Influence of Ti addition and sintering method on microstructure and mechanical behavior of a medium-entropy Al 0.6 CoNiFe alloy

“…In addition to the above-mentioned unique structural and compositional characteristics, HEAs possess promising mechanical, magnetic and electrochemical properties, such as high hardness, high strength, high thermal stability, excellent wear resistance and outstanding oxidation resistance [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], etc. In the literature, various experimental techniques have been utilized to prepare HEAs, e.g., arc-melting [11,18], copper mold casting [14], mold-clamp casting [19], fluxed water quenching [20], melt spinning [21], injection casting [22], induction melting [23], mechanical alloying (MA) [24], reactive DC sputtering [25] and laser cladding [26], etc. However, review of the literature shows that casting is the most widely used method for processing HEAs, especially copper mold casting and arc-melting.…”

Nano-Crystallization of High-Entropy Amorphous NbTiAlSiWxNy Films Prepared by Magnetron Sputtering

“…In recent years, great efforts have been focused on HEA films prepared by the magnetron sputtering method, such as, TiVCrAlZrN x [7], (TiVCrZrHf)N [8], (AlCrMoTaTi)N [9], FeCoNiCuVZrAl [10], etc. It has been shown that these HEA films display many advantages in terms of both mechanical and physical properties, high hardness and wear resistance [11][12][13], high resistance to corrosion [14], and oxidation [15], and excellent thermal stability especially when used as diffusion barriers in copper metallization [16][17][18][19]. It is well-known that transition metal nitride coatings usually show high hardness, good thermal stability, and excellent wear resistance properties, which make them widely used as protective coatings in mechanical cutting tools at high temperatures.…”
