Abstract

An equal-molar CoCrFeMnNi, face-centered-cubic high-entropy alloy system and a face-centered-cubic stainless steel described as a medium-entropy system, are measured by in situ neutron-diffraction experiments subjected to continuous tension at room and several elevated temperatures, respectively. With spallation neutron, the evolution of multiple diffraction peaks is collected simultaneously for lattice-elasticity study. Temperature variation of elastic stiffness of a single face-centered-cubic-phase Ni and a single face-centered-cubic-phase Fe are compared as low-entropy metals. The CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy shows distinct lattice anisotropy.
