Abstract
The effects of strain rate on mechanical properties, microstructural evolution and underlying deformation mechanisms of two kinds of interstitial CrMnFeCoNi high entropy alloys (HEAs), (CrMnFeCoNi)99.5C0.5 and (CrMnFeCoNi)99.0C1.0, are investigated under quasi-static and dynamic tension. Dynamic loading is carried out via a split Hopkinson tension bar system. The pre- and post-deformation microstructures are characterized with electron back scatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Both yield strength and work hardening increase remarkably with increasing strain rate. Plastic deformation in both alloys under quasi-static and dynamic loading are dominated by dislocations, stacking faults, kink bands and deformation twins. Twinning is activated easier under dynamic loading, and twin density decreases with increasing carbon content due to the increased stacking fault energy. The Khan-Liu constitutive model can describe the experimental results for these two interstitial HEAs in a wide strain range.
