摘要

This study investigated the solidification behavior and mechanical properties of a large-sized (CrCoNi)94Al3Ta3 medium-entropy alloy (MEA) fabricated via induction skull melting (ISM). The as-solidified microstructure exhibited a typical dendritic morphology, sensitive to cooling rate. The alloy consisted of a γ-phase matrix (face-centered cubic structure), γ′ precipitates ((Ni, Co)3(Al, Ta) with L12 structure), and Laves phase particles (Co2Ta with hexagonal close-packed structure). Aluminum (Al) and tantalum (Ta) acted as positive segregation elements, enriching the interdendritic (ID) regions and influencing subsequent solidification and precipitation. Microhardness measurements revealed a significant difference between the dendrite region (DR) (208 HV) and the ID region (272 HV). The alloy demonstrated a compressive yield strength of 540 MPa and exhibited over 70% plastic strain at room temperature. These excellent mechanical properties are attributed to solid solution strengthening, second-phase (γ′ and Laves) strengthening, and heterogeneous structure strengthening.
