Microstructure and the properties of FeCoCuNiSnx high entropy alloys

Abstract FeCoCuNiSn x high-entropy alloys (x denotes the adding the elements amount in atomic percentage) are prepared by an arc furnace. Their microstructure and mechanical properties are investigated. The results show that the alloys have a single FCC solution when Sn content is small, the microstructure of the alloys with increasing Sn content is FCC solution and Cu 81 Sn 22 intermetallic compounds. The alloys possess the high strength and the plasticity. When Sn content is between 0.05 and 0.07, the maximum elongation strain and the maximum tensile strength can reach 19.8% and 633 MPa, respectively. The adding of Sn leads to the increase of tensile strength.
