Abstract:
Due to the excellent strength-ductility combination and great potential for applications in industry, medium-entropy alloys (MEAS) with a single face-centered cubic structure (FCC) have attracted great research interests. However, the strength of FCC MEAs is inadequate to meet the increasing requirements as structural materials served at extreme conditions. Herein, we report a strategy to obtain FCC structured (CoCrNi)100-xVx alloys with superior properties at both room or cryogenic temperatures. By introducing V element and adjusting its content, the strength of the alloys is significantly enhanced, though with a decrease in ductility. Nevertheless, at the cryogenic temperature of 77 K, all alloys exhibit a synergistic improvement in both strength and ductility compared to room temperature. Microstructural analysis indicates that the enhanced strength at room or cryogenic temperature is mainly due to the introduction of dense twinning into the alloys through rolling and recrystallization processes. In addition, the dense twinning also promotes plane slip, provides additional work hardening, delays the occurrence of necking, and thus enhances the ductility. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
