摘要

摘要: 通过分子动力学方法模拟了原子尺度下高熵合金的制备过程，对AlCoCrFeNi进行了微观组织分析，研究了温度和Al含量变化时AlCoCrFeNi高熵合金在轴向载荷作用下的力学性能。模拟结果显示：Al_xCoCrFeNi高熵合金在拉伸过程中依次经历弹性—屈服—塑性阶段。屈服后，材料开始出现位错，随之出现层错和孪晶；随着位错的不断产生和湮灭，材料产生了不均匀塑性变形。分析显示：Al与其他元素的原子半径差产生的晶格畸变效应以及Al与其他原子的结合力影响了高熵合金的杨氏模量和屈服应力；温度升高导致金属原子间的热振动加剧，原子动能增加，原子间的距离增大，原子间的结合力下降，致使合金的弹性模量和屈服应力下降，温度的净效应类似于晶格畸变。

Abstract: The fabrication process of the high-entropy alloys (HEAs) at the atomic scale was investigated numerically through molecular dynamics (MD) approach, with which the micro-structures of Al_xCoCrFeNi were analyzed. The mechanical properties of the fabricated specimens with different Al contents subjected to axial loads were explored at different temperatures. Numerical results show that the high-entropy alloys Al_xCoCrFeNi undergoes the elastic, yielding and plastic stages in order when subjected to tensile. After yielding, dislocation lines emerge in the material, followed by the stacking faults and twins. The material produces inhomogeneous plastic deformation with the continuous generation and disappearance of dislocations. This analysis suggest that the lattice distortion effect is induced by the radius difference between Al atoms and other atoms, additionally, the binding force between them affects the Young's modulus and yield stress of high-entropy alloys. Moreover, the increase of temperature leads to more severe thermal vibration between metal atoms, larger atomic dynamic energy, increasing distance between atoms, while decreasing binding force between atoms, thereby resulting in a decrease of alloy elastic modality and yield stress. The effect of temperature is similar to that of the lattice distortion.
