Abstract
The Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) effect induced by dynamic strain aging is commonly observed in various alloys. The stress-drop magnitude of serrations and the critical strain at which serrations occur are two pivotal features characterizing serrated flow. This study investigates the temperature (160–460 °C) and strain rate (6 × 10−4 s−1–2 × 10−2 s−1) dependence of the serrated flow behavior in the CoNiV medium-entropy alloy through uniaxial tensile tests. Under the guidance of the mean-field theory, a scale theory has been applied to derive a scale function and scale indices that can be used to predict the distribution of stress drops. A normal PLC behavior of critical strain is fitted using the dislocation pinning model, demonstrating the presence of specific solute atoms conforming to the dislocation pinning model within medium-entropy alloys.
