Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are currently the subject of extensive research. Despite this, the effects of rapid cooling on their performance have yet to be investigated. This study uses ab initio molecular dynamics to investigate the CrCoFeNiMnAl x (x =0, 0.5 and 1) HEAs under a rapid cooling process. It has been observed that the three HEAs all form metallic glass at 300 K under a constant cooling rate of 1.25 × 102 K ps−1, mainly composed of icosahedron and face-centered cubic clusters. Secondly, the glass transition temperatures (T g) are predicted to be 1658 K for CrCoFeNiMn, 1667 K for CrCoFeNiMnAl0.5, and 1687 K for CrCoFeNiMnAl, respectively. It can be seen the T g of HEAs increases with the content of Al increasing. Eventually, a relationship between structure and dynamics is established by using the five-fold local symmetry parameters and shear viscosity, which proves that structural evolution is the fundamental reason for dynamic deceleration. The present results contribute to understanding the evolution of the local structure of CrCoFeNiMnAl x and provide a new perspective for studying the structural mechanism of dynamic retardation in HEAs.
