Abstract

To understand the fundamental deformation mechanisms of compositionally complex alloys, single crystals of a multi-component equiatomic FeNiCoCr alloy with face-center-cubic (FCC) structure were grown for mechanical studies. Similar to typical FCC pure metals, slip trace analyses indicate that dislocation slips take place on (1 1 1) planes along [110] directions. The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) obeys the Schmid law at both 77 and 293 K, and tension-compression asymmetry is not observed. Although this material slips in a normal FCC manner both at 293 and 77 K, the strong temperature dependence of the CRSS is abnormal in comparison to the typical FCC metals.
