Abstract [en]
High-entropy Alloys (HEAs) are considered prospective materials demonstrating the new approach of alloy design creating new compositions for harsh conditions. However, searching for alloy chemical composition providing the best material properties is a costly process. Additive manufacturing (AM) can be an effective technique for adjusting the alloy composition by using several initial materials. The powder bed fusion (PBF) AM process allows the printing of solid parts using powder blends. In the present study, the CrFeCoNi(Al,Ti) HEAs were printed by the PBF technique using the blends of three powders. The structural and phase investigations revealed the chemical inhomogeneity in the materials that led to the new phase formations affecting the mechanical characteristics. The high-temperature annealing at 1200 °C can be considered a post-treatment process for the printed alloys as a homogenization process while the annealing at a lower temperature of 800 °C initiates the decomposition of the initially formed f.c.c. phase.
