Abstract
Introducing nanolaminates structure is a promising strategy to obtain the controllable microstructure and mechanical properties of high entropy alloy (HEA). In this work, the Al0.5CoCrFeNi/CoCrCuFeNi nanolaminates with coherent interface and crystalline/amorphous hierarchical nanostructure was designed. On the one hand, the coherent interface with continuous slip direction and planes enables nanolaminates with great deformability. On the other hand, the hierarchical nanostructure in the nanolaminates contributes to high strength via the interaction between crystalline and amorphous structures. Microstructural observations indicated that abundant nanotwins and stack faults were filled in the columnar nanocrystalline cutting across the interface, leading to a high hardness due to the dislocation-interface interactions. The results of nanoindentation tests revealed that the hardness of the nanolaminates up to 8.02 GPa, which markedly exceeds many HEA films with face-centered cubic (FCC) phase. The findings provide a new avenue for improving the mechanical properties of HEA nanolaminates in a controllable manner.
