TENSILE AND COMPRESSIVE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF A CoCrCuFeNiAl 0.5 HIGH ENTROPY ALLOY

A high entropy alloy of composition CoCrCuFeNiAl 0.5 is mainly composed of a face centered cubic (FCC) solid solution phase. The tensile and compressive properties of the alloy were investigated; the alloy exhibited a tensile strength of 707 MPa, together with a large plastic strain limit of 19%.
