Abstract

A metallic alloy, more particularly, a high-entropy alloy with a composite structure exhibits high strength and good ductility, and is used as a component material in electromagnetic, chemical, shipbuilding, machinery, and other applications, and in extreme environments, and the like.

Claims (6)

1. A high-entropy alloy having a composite structure, comprising: by weight %, iron (Fe) greater than 5% to 35% or less, manganese (Mn) greater than 5% to 35% or less, nickel (Ni) greater than 5% to 35% or less, and cobalt (Co) greater than 5% to 35% or less,

and comprising, by weight %, at least one of copper (Cu) greater than 3% to 40% or less and silver (Ag) greater than 3% to 40% or less,

wherein a ductile second phase is distributed in a matrix of the high-entropy alloy and the ductile second phase has a filament structure formed by deformation processing.

2. The high-entropy alloy having a composite structure of claim 1 , wherein the ductile second phase is one or more of a Cu-rich phase, an Ag-rich phase, a single phase dendrite, a phase separation region, and a particle.

3. The high-entropy alloy having a composite structure of claim 1 , wherein the ductile second phase has a width of 5 μm to 20 μm and a length of 30 μm to 300 μm.

4. The high-entropy alloy having a composite structure of claim 1 , wherein the filament structure has a thickness of 0.05 μm to 2 μm and a length of 10 μm to 1000 μm.
