Abstract
Selective laser melting (SLM) to fabricate Al0.5CoCrFeNi high entropy alloys with pre-mixed powders was studied in this paper. The influences of process parameters including laser power, scanning speed, and hatch spacing on the relative density of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were investigated. A relative density of 99.92% can be achieved by optimizing the SLM process parameters with laser power 320 W, scanning speed 800 mm/s, and hatch spacing of 60 μm, respectively. Moreover, the microstructure of the HEAs was also studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the microstructure of the HEAs was only composed of face-centered cubic and body-centered cubic phases, without complex intermetallic compounds. The mechanical properties of the HEAs were also characterized. At ambient temperature, the alloys had a high yield strength of about 609 MPa, tensile strength about 878 MPa, and hardness about 270 HV. Through a comparison with the corresponding alloys fabricated by vacuum induction melting, it can be concluded that the high entropy alloys fabricated by SLM had fine microstructures and improved mechanical properties.
