Abstract

AlCoCuFeMnNi high-entropy alloy was fabricated by noon-consumable arc remelter. The phase structure was investigated by x-ray diffraction, and thermodynamic parameters were discussed through caculation in detail. The results show that AlCoCuFeMnNi alloy has two BCC phase structure. The mixing entropy is 13.38J·mol-1·K-1, the mixing enthalpy is -2.56kJ·mol-1, the atomic radius difference is 0.15, and the Gibbs free energy is -35.73kJ·mol-1. The diffraction broad peaks were mainly due to the lattice distortion owing to the atomic radius of each element difference and inhomogeneous diffusion, the increment of residual stress because of cooling rapidly, the small grain size and wide distribution.
