Synthesis of Nanocrystalline Al10Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6 Alloys Dispersed with Y2O3 by Mechanical Alloying Method
摘要
The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of milling parameters on the structural and phase evolution of a non-equiatomic Al10Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6 high-entropy alloy dispersed with varying Y2O3 (Y2O3 wt% = 0, 1, 2, and 3) concentration. Variations in crystallite size, lattice strain, and dislocation density were found in an orderly manner with the effect of milling time. X-ray diffraction (XRD) phase analysis indicates that after approximately 30 h of milling, both “BCC” and “FCC” phases become stable, alongside a minor presence of the Al19Ni5Y3 intermetallic phase. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) of 30 h milled powder also confirmed the formation of a dual-phase morphology with a minor intermetallic phase. SEM–EDS analysis and HRTEM confirm the even distribution of constituent elements within the alloy aggregate in its as-fabricated state. After 30 h of milling, the lattice parameter, crystallite size, dislocation density, and lattice strain were determined to be 2.055 Å, 5.135 nm, 0.055 × 1015/m2, and 0.015%, respectively.
