【 摘 要 】

The effect of cold rolling to 80% thickness reduction and annealing at 973-1373 K for 1 h on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a C-containing CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy was studied. Cold rolling significantly strengthened the alloy to the yield strength of 1310 MPa. Annealing at 973 K or 1073 K resulted in incomplete recrystallization of an fcc matrix and M23C6-type carbide precipitations aligned with highly elongated grains/subgrains. Complete recrystallization occurred during annealing at 1173 - 1373 K. The ordered arrangement of the carbides was not observed after annealing at 1273 K or 1373 K. The volume fraction of carbides decreased with increasing the annealing temperature that can be reasonably described by a Thermo-Calc prediction. The coarsening behavior of the microstructure constituents was studied during isothermal annealing at 1173 K for 1-50 h. It was found that the grain growth and the particle coarsening can be expressed by power law functions of annealing time with grain/particle size exponents of about 2 and 3, respectively. An increase in the annealing temperature from 973 K to 1373 K led to a gradual softening of the alloy; the yield strength decreased from 870 MPa to 320 MPa, whereas total elongation increased from 24% to 47%, respectively. Contributions of various strengthening mechanisms into the overall strength of the alloy were discussed.
