Patent ID: 11572612

Abstract:
A high-entropy alloy having ultra-high strength and high hydrogen embrittlement resistance due to formation of a microstructure at a low strain may be produced without a severe plastic deformation.A method for producing the high-entropy alloy includes (a) annealing and homogenizing an initial alloy material at 1000 to 1200° C. for 1 to 24 hours; and (b) rolling the annealed and homogenized initial alloy material into a rod, at a cryogenic temperature of −100 to −200° C. while pressing the initial alloy material in multi-axial directions at a strain of 0.4 to 1.2, thereby to produce the high-entropy alloy having intersecting twins as a microstructure, and secondary fine twins formed in the intersecting twins, wherein the initial alloy material contains Co of 5 to 35%, Cr of 5 to 35%, Fe of 5 to 35%, Mn of 5 to 35%, and Ni of 5 to 35%, based on weight %.
