Abstract

In the current study, the phase evolution of multicomponent equiatomic CoCrCuFeNi, CoCuFeNi, CoCrCuNi and CoCrFeNi alloys synthesized by Mechanical Alloying (MA) followed by annealing was studied. From the phase evolution studies, CoCrFeNi, CoFeMnNi, CoCuFeNi and CoFeNi were chosen to correlate the densification together with phase evolution during Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). MA resulted in a major face centered cubic (fcc) phase and a minor body centered cubic (bcc) phase in Cr-containing alloys and a single fcc phase in all other alloys. After SPS, CoFeMnNi and CoFeNi remained as single fcc phase. However, CoCuFeNi transformed to two fcc phases and CoCrFeNi had a major fcc phase with minor sigma phase. From densification studies, it was evident that CoCrFeNi showed delayed densification, albeit maximum final densification in comparison to other alloys. This behavior was attributed to distinctly different phase evolution in CoCrFeNi during SPS as compared to other alloys. Detailed phase evolution studies were carried out on CoCrFeNi by annealing the powders at different temperatures followed by conventional X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and in situ high-temperature XRD of mechanically alloyed powders. The results obtained from the annealing and in situ high-temperature XRD studies were correlated with the densification and alloying behavior of CoCrFeNi alloy.
