A novel equiaxed eutectic high-entropy alloy with excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures

A Co25.1Cr18.8Fe23.3Ni22.6Ta8.5Al1.7 (at. %) eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) consisting of face-centered-cubic (FCC) and C14 Laves phases was produced by powder metallurgy. The EHEA shows an equiaxed morphology that is different from eutectic lamellar structure. Nanometer L12 phase (4–5 nm) furth...
