摘要：A prototypical, single-phase, and non-equiatomic high entropy alloy Fe 40Mn 40Co 10Cr 10 has been mechanically deformed at room and cryogenic temperatures. Plastic deformation was accommodated via crystallographic slip at room temperature while transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) has been observed in samples deformed at 77 K. The stress-induced martensitic transformation occurred from face-centered cubic (FCC) to hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structures. A detailed electron backscatter diffraction analysis was utilized to detect phase change and evaluate the evolution of the HCP phase volume fraction as a function of plastic strain. Physical properties of undeformed and deformed samples were measured to elucidate the effect of deformation-induced phase transitions on the magnetic and electrical properties of Fe 40Mn 40Co 10Cr 10 alloy. Relatively small magnetic moments along with non-saturating magnetic field dependencies suggest that the ground state in the considered material is ferrimagnetic ordering with coexisting antiferromagnetic phase. The temperature evolution of the coercive fields has been revealed for all samples. The magnitudes of the coercive fields place the considered system into the semi-hard magnetic alloys category. The temperature dependence of the zero-field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) magnetization was measured for all samples in the low field regime and the origin of irreversibility in ZFC/FC curves was discussed. Besides, the temperature dependence of the resistivity in all samples was measured and the possible conduction mechanisms were discussed.
