Abstract |
In the present study, we systematically investigated the effect of entropy of mixing (ΔSmix) on the mechanical and thermal properties of single phase FCC solid solutions with multi-principal elements. An increase in ΔSmix led to an increase in micro-hardness and a decrease in thermal conductivity (κ) due to severe lattice distortion. Furthermore, NiCoFeCrMn high-entropy alloy (HEA) exhibited the highest κ1/κe ratio of ~1.13, because with increasing ΔSmix the reduction in lattice thermal conductivity (κ1) was less than that of electron thermal conductivity (κe). In particular, a crossover in the properties` variation was noticeable at a specific ΔSmix of ~8.3±0.3 J/mol·K, which means the properties of single phase FCC solid solutions can be optimized by modulating ΔSmix. The results can provide a guideline for manipulating the properties of single solid solutions using the HEA design concept, and help develop novel materials with optimal properties that are usable in extreme environments.
