Thermodynamic analysis of the simple microstructure of  AlCrFeNiCu high-entropy alloy with multi-principal elements

doi:10.1016/S1006-7191(08)60092-7

Abstract

Abstract:

AlCrFeNiCu high-entropy alloy (THA) was synthesized by the arc melting and casting method. The alloy exhibits simple FCC and BCC solid solution phases rather than intermetallic compounds. The reason is that the Gibbs free energy of mixing of the equimolar AlCrFeNiCu alloy is smaller than that of inter-metallic compounds by calculation according to the Miedema model.

Key words: Multi-principal elements alloy, High-entropy alloy, Thermodynamics, Microstructure
