Effect of Cu on weld solidification microstructure of CoCrFeNiCux alloys
摘要
The solidification of high-entropy alloys CoCrFeNiCux during welding was investigated. Alloys with the Cu mole ratio x ≈ 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 were prepared and quenched during welding. The effect of x on the solidification microstructure was examined, including grain-boundary migration, ductility-dip cracking, and dendrites of the Cu-lean fcc phase Fcc1. The effect of x on the solidification microstructure evolution was explained with the help of an isopleth calculated between equimolar CoCrFeNi and pure Cu and the solidification paths of the alloys.
