摘 要:The multi-component AlCrCuFeMnTi high entropy alloy was prepared using a vacuum arc melting process. Serial annealing processes were subsequently performed at 590 ℃, 750 ℃, 955 ℃ and 1 100 ℃ respectively with a holding time of 4 h at each temperature. The effects of annealing on microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties of as-cast alloy were investigated by using differential thermal analysis(DTA), X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The experimental results show that two C14 hexagonal structures remain unchanged after annealing the as-cast AlCrCuFeMnTi alloy specimens being heated to 1 100 ℃. Both annealed and as-cast microstructures show typical cast-dendrite morphology and similar elemental segregation. The hardness of alloys declines as the annealing temperature increases while the strength of as-cast alloy improves obviously by the annealing treatment. The electrical conductivities of annealed and as-cast alloys are influenced by the distribution of interdendrite regions which is rich in Cu element.
