Abstract

The present work reports a cuboidal B2-coherently-enhanced body-centered-cubic (BCC) alloy Al0.7CoCrFe2Ni with prominent tensile properties at both room (ultimate tensile strength σb = 1223 MPa and elongation to fracture δ = 7.9%) and high temperatures. This multi-principal-element alloy is developed out of a cluster formula [Al-M14]Al1 issued from the cluster-plus-glue-atom model of a BCC structure. Here, the [Al-M14] cluster is centered by Al, surrounded by fourteen average atoms M = Co1/5Cr1/5Fe2/5Ni1/5, and glued with one Al atom. Its excellent mechanical properties are attributed to a superalloy-like microstructure, characterized by cuboidal B2 nanoprecipitates coherently embedded in the BCC matrix.
