Abstract

A high efficient magnetic levitation melting technique was reported for fabricating bulk equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) ingot with a diameter of 110mm. The bulk ingot can be either forged or rolled. In particular, fully recrystallized ultrafine-grained (UFG) HEA with a minimum grain size of 503±181nm was successfully obtained through a simple cold rolling and annealing process. The tensile properties of the HEA were studied by changing the grain size from the UFG regime to the coarse-grained regime. The UFG HEA exhibited a good balance of strength and ductility due to the low stacking fault energy. The linear Hall-Petch relationship was well fitted when the grain sizes range from 503nm to 88.9μm.
