Abstract
An eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) consisting mainly of a face-centered cubic (FCC) phase and a C14 Laves phase with the compositions of Co25.1Cr18.8Fe23.3Ni22.6Ta8.5Al1.7 (at%) was successfully prepared by hot isostatic pressing. The present EHEA exhibits a skeleton-type Laves phase structure, deviating from typical EHEA structures. After a series of annealing treatments at 1000 °C for different durations (ranging from 0 to 150 h), the Co3Ta phase precipitated after annealing. The mechanical properties measured at 850 °C showed a tensile strength of 441 MPa and an elongation of 3.3%. The results of the high-temperature tests showed that the mechanical properties of this alloy did not change significantly before and after annealing, and its microstructure showed a high degree of stability, which suggests that the material has some potential for use in high-temperature environments.
