Abstract
The effects of Ti and Si addition on the phase equilibrium and mechanical properties of the equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (Cantor alloy) were investigated. The phase equilibrium at 1000 °C was determined from the result of X-ray diffraction and electron probe micro-analysis. Ti addition stabilizes the $$\sigma$$ σ phase, A12 phase and C14-Laves phase, while Si addition stabilizes the A13 phase. The phase relationships were represented by projection onto (Co, Fe, Mn, Ni)–Cr–X(Ti or Si) isothermal ternary cross-section at 1000 °C in Co–Cr–Fe–Mn–Ni–X senary system. Tensile tests were conducted on Cantor-based fcc single solid solution alloys with Ti or Si dissolution at room temperature. The 0.2% yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increased with either element addition. The Ti-added alloy showed higher strength than the Si-added alloy. The difference in ductility in the alloys is related to their strain hardening behavior in the higher strain range. Graphic abstract
