| Abstract Scope |
Maraging steels, known for their ultrahigh strength and excellent fracture toughness, typically feature a lath martensite structure enriched with dense nanoprecipitates. This study introduces an innovative Fe-based medium-entropy alloy, formulated as Fe60Co25Ni10Mo5 (at%). By undergoing a brief aging process of just 10 minutes at 650 °C, the alloy forms a microstructure that includes a high density of (Fe, Co, Ni)7Mo6-type nanoprecipitates within a lath martensite matrix and a reverted FCC phase. This unique structure delivers an ultrahigh yield strength exceeding 2 GPa and an ultimate tensile strength of about 2.2 GPa, along with a uniform ductility of approximately 6%. This alloy capitalizes on the deformation-induced martensitic transformation from reverted FCC to BCC martensite, a mechanism rarely exploited in conventional maraging steels. This study presents a novel direction in creating strong and ductile materials by merging the high-entropy concept with traditional material design.
