Abstract
The annealing temperature, its duration and quenching rate may play a significant role in tuning the functional properties of high entropy alloys (HEAs). In the present work, Co35Fe10Ni30Ti20Al5 HEA is investigated for the effect of different quenching rates on the phase evolution and magnetic properties. The Co35Fe10Ni30Ti20Al5 HEA was synthesized through mechanical alloying and subsequently annealed at 700 °C for 2 h followed by quenching through different rates-furnace cooled, room temperature (RT-) cooled, ice-bath quenched and liquid-N2 quenched separately. The as-synthesized sample exhibited a mixture of fcc, bcc and a slight content of R-phase. The synthesized phase was found to be maintained after quenching at different rates. The magnetic behavior measured for different samples confirmed the characteristic ferromagnetic nature having coercivity in the range of semi-hard magnetic material. We found variation in the volume phase fraction of the secondary bcc phase and the value of coercivity with the variation of the quenching rate. This study may provide an appropriate idea of the quenching rate for tuning the magnetic property of HEAs.
