摘 要：A series of CoCrFeNbxNi（x values in molar ratio, x = 0, 0.25, 0.45, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.2） high entropy alloys（HEAs） was prepared to investigate the alloying effect of Nb on the microstructures and mechanical properties. The results indicate that the prepared CoCrFeNbxNi（x > 0） HEAs consist of a simple FCC solid solution phase and a Laves phase. The microstructures of the alloys change from an initial single-phase FCC solid solution structure（x = 0） to a hypoeutectic microstructure（x = 0.25）, then to a full eutectic microstructure（x = 0.45） and finally to a hypereutectic microstructure（0.5 < x < 1.2）. The compressive test results show that the Nb0.45（x = 0.45） alloy with a full eutectic microstructure possesses the highest compressive fracture strength of 2558 MPa and a fracture strain of 27.9%. The CoCrFeNi alloy exhibits an excellent compressive ductility, which can reach 50% height reduction without fracture. The Nb0.25 alloy with a hypoeutectic structure exhibits a larger plastic strain of 34.8%. With the increase of Nb content, increased hard/brittle Laves phase leads to a decrease of the plasticity and increases of the Vickers hardness and the wear resistance. The wear mass loss, width and depth of wear scar of the Nb1.2（x = 1.2） alloy with a hypereutectic structure are the lowest among all alloy systems, indicating that the wear resistance of the Nb1.2 alloy is the best one.
