Studying the Effect of Cold Rolling and Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of the Fe36Mn20Ni20Cr16Al5Si3 High Entropy Alloy
In this study, a multi-component FeMnNiCrAlSi high-entropy alloy, chosen through Thermo-Calc® software (2021a, Stockholm, Sweden) calculation and produced by electric arc melting, was studied for phase continents and mechanical properties. The results elucidated that the cold rolled condition (area reduction ratio about 86%) was in the form of elongated grains with a dendritic structure. Also, small amounts of the BCC phase were precipitated at the grain boundaries. The annealed sample shows features of BCC phase and different sizes of intermetallics. These results coincided with the predictions of Thermo-Calc® software calculations. A cold rolled sample showed high compressive yield strength of about 950 MPa, and the annealed sample had only half the strength of the cold rolled condition. The cold rolled sample shows the highest micro-hardness. The wear resistance of the annealed condition was significantly improved at room temperature and at 200 °C. The brittle phases in the annealed condition have a positive impact on the wear resistance.

Phase Prediction, Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Fe–Mn–Ni–Cr–Al–Si High Entropy Alloys
The selection of high-entropy alloys (HEAs), which are relatively lightweight and have unique mechanical properties, remains a substantial challenge. In this study, six new HEAs were designed from the relatively low-cost Fe–Mn–Ni–Cr–Al–Si system using Thermo-Calc software, and then manufactured using a casting process. The effects of the atomic ratio of the alloying elements on the microstructures and mechanical properties of these alloys in the as-cast condition were systematically investigated. Brittle body-centered cubic BCC/B2 and silicide phases were found in relatively large amounts in the form of dendritic structure within large equiaxed grains with fine needle-shaped phases in the Fe30Mn15Ni20Cr15Al10Si10 and Fe35Mn15Ni20Cr15Al10Si5 alloys, in addition to the face-centered cubic (FCC) phase. When the contents of Mn and Ni were increased in the Fe35Mn25Ni15Cr15Al5Si5 and Fe35Mn20Ni20Cr15Al5Si5 alloys, the amounts of brittle phases were reduced; however, the ductile FCC phase is not significant. The FCC phase amount, which appeared as a honeycombed structure, was more than enough when the Si content was decreased to 3%. Broad relationships between the chemical composition of the alloys, especially the Si content, and the hardness and compression properties’ measurements were established. As the Si content decreased, both the hardness and compression properties of the resulting alloy also decreased. The experimental observation of the six HEAs matched the equilibrium phases predicted by the Thermo-Calc calculations.
