Abstract

High-entropy (Fe0.25Co0.25Ni0.25Cr0.125Mo0.0625Nb0.0625)(100-x)B-x amorphous alloys are formed with low (8 - 14 at%) boron contents by melt spinning. With increasing boron, the broad halo in X-ray diffraction shifts to indicate a decreasing average spacing of nearest-neighbor atoms. The crystallization onset temperature and the Vickers hardness increase with boron content. The glass transition is observed even for a low-boron (13 at%) alloy. The 8-11 at% B alloys crystallize in stages: {[}am] {[}am' + bcc] -> {[}am `' + bcc + fcc] -> {[}bcc + fcc + borides]. The bcc precipitates, diameter similar to 10 nm enriched in (Fe,Co) and the fcc precipitates, diameter similar to 15 nm enriched in (Ni,Fe), are stable on annealing over a wide range (900 - 1060 K) below the temperature at which borides form. The bcc phase shows no internal defects, while the fcc phase has defects such as twin boundaries. The microhardness (Hv) of the {[}am `' + bcc + fcc] nanostructure reaches a high maximum of 1460-1560 kgf.mm(-2 ), before decreasing rapidly when the formation of borides marks the disappearance of the residual amorphous phase. The high thermal stability of the three-phase nanostructure is attributed to the residual amorphous phase enriched in B, Cr, Mo and Nb. These low-boron metastable alloys with novel three-phase nanostructures are attractive as potential amorphous coatings or ultrahard structural alloys with high thermal stability.
