Abstract Scope |
This study details the design, fabrication, and characterization of a non-equiatomic Iron-based High-Entropy Alloy from the FeMnAlSiCr-C family. The alloy was produced through vacuum induction melting and subsequently characterized in its as-cast state. Analyses were conducted to assess its chemical composition, phase constituents via X-Ray Diffraction, and microstructure as observed through Scanning Electron Microscopy. X-Ray Diffraction results indicated a ferritic matrix (α) alongside an intermetallic iron aluminide phase (FeAl), exhibiting an ordered B2-type simple cubic structure. Scanning Electron Microscopy revealed the presence of complex precipitates enriched in manganese, silicon, and chromium, as well as lamellar structures associated with displacive or eutectoid transformations. In the as-cast condition, the alloy exhibited an average grain size of 213 µm and an average hardness of 474 HV. These findings demonstrate that the alloy's multicomponent composition and meticulous processing techniques contribute to the formation of intricate microstructures with enhanced mechanical properties. |
