摘要：Fatigue failures cost approximately 4% of the United States' gross domestic product(GDP). The design of highly fatigue-resistant materials is always in demand. Different from conventional strategies of alloy design, high-entropy alloys(HEAs) are defined as materials with five or more principal elements, which could be solid solutions. This locally-disordered structure is expected to lead to unique fatigue-resistant properties. In this review, the studies of the fatigue behavior of HEAs during the last five years are summarized. The four-point-bending high-cycle fatigue coupled with statistical modelling, and the fatigue-crack-growth behavior of HEAs, are reviewed. The effects of sample defects and nanotwins-deformation mechanisms on four-point-bending high-cycle fatigue of HEAs are discussed in detail. The influence of stress ratio and temperature on fatigue-crack-growth characteristics of HEAs is also discussed. HEAs could exhibit comparable or greater fatigue properties, relative to conventional materials. Finally,the possible future work regarding the fatigue behavior of HEAs is suggested.

摘要：沉淀强化高熵合金表现出优异的强度和延展性.然而,由于现有的模型忽略了高熵合金中复杂化学元素、析出相尺寸分布和空间分布在内的关键作用,使之无法准确预测高熵合金中固溶强化和沉淀强化对屈服强度的贡献.此外,还缺乏统一的强度模型来分析高熵合金中的屈服强度.本文建立了考虑尺寸分布和空间分布的沉淀强化模型,与现有模型相比,该模型具有更高的精度.结果表明,沉淀强化在屈服强度中起主要贡献作用.此外,空间分布对沉淀强化的影响比析出相尺寸分布的影响更显著.该模型为确定高熵合金的沉淀强化和屈服强度提供了理论框架,并为设计高强度高熵合金提供指导.

摘要：As human improve their ability to fabricate materials, alloys have evolved from simple to complex compositions, accordingly improving functions and performances,promoting the advancements of human civilization. In recent years, high-entropy alloys（HEAs） have attracted tremendous attention in various fields. With multiple principal components, they inherently possess unique microstructures and many impressive properties, such as high strength and hardness, excellent corrosion resistance, thermal stability, fatigue,fracture, and irradiation resistance, in terms of which they overwhelm the traditional alloys. All these properties have endowed HEAs with many promising potential *** in-depth understanding of the essence of HEAs is important to further developing numerous HEAs with better properties and performance in the future. In this paper, we review the recent development of HEAs, and summarize their preparation methods, composition design, phase formation and microstructures, various properties, and modeling and simulation calculations. In addition, the future trends and prospects of HEAs are put forward.

摘要：本文研究了一种新型低密度(~6.24 g cm^(-3))双相AlTiVCoNi高熵合金,其组织结构由有序L21高熵金属间化合物、无序体心立方结构和纳米L21相多层次结构构成.该合金在1200℃+24 h热处理下未发生相结构转变,在此条件下具有优异的高温相结构稳定性,其铸态和热处理态的压缩屈服强度相当,达到~1.6 GPa.另外,该合金在室温和600℃条件下表现出了优异的强塑性匹配和优异的比屈服强度,分别达到了约261和210 MPa g^(-1)cm^(3).该合金的超高强度主要源于有序L21相与体心立方相的半共格界面导致的一种强相结构稳定性和多层次结构的复合强化机制.该合金在800和1000℃压缩过程中出现了动态再结晶软化,使得其高温强度有所降低.这种“具有半共格界面L21+体心立方+纳米L21颗粒”的多层次结构设计为开发新型低密度耐高温高熵合金提供了一种新设计思路.
