Abstract

The thermal stability of precipitates is a major concern for L12-type strengthening high entropy alloy at elevated temperatures. In this study, we systematically investigated the effect of Re and Ru on the phase stability an d coarsening kinetics of L12 precipitates in the Ni29Co27Fe27Cr3Al7Ti7 HEA. The L12 phase exhibited a high volume fraction of 40.29% in the explored HEA and remained a stable morphology during the long-term exposure. Re addition did not change the volume fraction of L12 phase, while Ru addition decreased it to 34.42%. Both Re and Ru facilitated the formation of L21 precipitates slightly. Minor Re significantly decreased the coarsening rate of L12 phase and minor Ru also retarded the coarsening of L12 phase to some degree, which were mainly ascribed to the sluggish diffusion of Re and Ru atoms. These findings provide a feasible strategy to improve the coarsening resistance of L12 precipitates in HEA system through sluggish atomic diffusion.
