Abstract:The effects of Al and Sc on mechanical properties of FeCoNi multi-element alloys (MEAs) were investigated by compressive tests. The microstructures of FeCoNi MEAs with different contents of Al and Sc were characterized and the strengthening mechanisms were discussed. The results show that FeCoNi MEA with a low content of Al has a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. The yield strength increases linearly with the increase of Al content, which is largely caused by solid solution hardening. Further addition of Sc can promote the formation of a new phase in (FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs. A minor addition of Sc can significantly increase the yield strengths of (FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs with a low Al content and improve the compressive plasticity of (FeCoNi)1-xAlx MEAs with a high Al content.
Key words: FeCoNi multi-element alloys; mechanical properties; microstructure; strengthening mechanism
