Abstract
To shed light into the application potential of high-entropy alloys as "interlayer" materials for Al-steel solid-state joining, we investigated the nature of the CoCrFeMnNi/Fe and CoCrFeMnNi/Al solid/solid interfaces, focusing on the bonding behavior and phase components. Good metallurgical bonding without the formation of hard and brittle IMC can be achieved for CoCrFeMnNi/Fe solid/solid interface.
In contrast to the formation of Al₅Fe₂ phase at the Fe/Al interface, Al₁₃Fe₄-type IMC, in which the Fe site is co-occupied equally by Co, Cr, Fe, Mn and Ni, dominates the CoCrFeMnNi/Al interface. Although the formation of IMC at the CoCrFeMnNi/Al interface is not avoidable, the thickness and hardness of the Al₁₃(CoCrFeMnNi)₄ phase formed at the CoCrFeMnNi/Al interface are significantly lower than the Al₅Fe₂ phase formed at the Fe/Al interface. The activation energies for the interdiffusion of Fe/Al and CoCrFeMnNi/Al static diffusion couple are 341.6 kJ/mol and 329.5 kJ/mol, respectively.
Despite this similarity, under identical static annealing condition, the interdiffusion coefficient of the CoCrFeMnNi/Al diffusion couple is significantly lower than that of the Fe/Al diffusion couple. This is thus mainly a result of the reduced atomic mobility/diffusivity caused by the compositional complexity in CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy.
