High-Entropy Induced Phase Divergence and Damping Behavior in Mn-Cu-Ni-Fe-Zn-Al (Cr, Mo) Alloys
摘要
Damping alloys not only possess the functional ability to dissipate mechanical vibration energy but also exhibit favorable mechanical properties to maintain structural stability. In this paper, three Mn-Cu-Ni-Fe-Zn-Al-(Cr, Mo) high-entropy damping alloys were prepared to explore the service performance of the Mn-based multicomponent alloys (MMAs). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analyses reveal that the three as-cast Mn-based MMAs exhibit distinct phase constitutions: single FCC phase for MnCuNiFeZnAl, FCC + BCC dual phases for MnCuNiFeZnAlCr, and FCC + BCC + σ multiphase structure for MnCuNiFeZnAlCrMo. It is found that the introduce of BCC in the FCC matrix can provide phase strengthening while cut plasticity down; however, the precipitation of intermetallic σ phase significantly deteriorates the alloy’s ductility. All three alloys exhibit multiple damping peaks with the peak values higher than 0.014 under high temperatures, and the IF values at 973 K range from 0.03 to 0.08, showing great potential for applications under high-temperature environments.
