Abstract

The influence of cooling rate on the microstructure of Al0.6CoCrFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) powders was investigated. The spherical HEA powders (D50≈78.65 μm) were prepared by high pressure gas atomization. The different cooling rates were achieved by adjusting the powder diameter. Based on the solidification model, the relationship between the cooling rate and the powder diameter was developed. The FCC phase gradually disappears as particle size decreases. Further analysis reveals that the phase structure gradually changes from FCC+BCC dual-phase to a single BCC phase with the increase of the cooling rate. The microstructure evolves from planar crystal to equiaxed grain with the cooling rate increasing from 3.19×104 to 1.11×106 K/s.
