Abstract
Deformation mechanisms of a high-entropy alloy with a single
face-centered-cubic phase, Al
0.1
CoCrFeNi, at elevated temperatures are studied to
explore the high temperature performances of high-entropy alloys. Tensile tests at a
strain rate of 10

s

are performed at different temperatures ranging from 25 to
700 °C. While both yield strength and ultimate tensile strength decrease with
increasing temperature, the maximum elongation to fracture occurred at 500 °C.
Transmission electron microscopy characterizations reveal that, at both 25 and 500 °C,
most of deformation occurs by dislocation glide on the normal face-centered-cubic
slip system, {111}<110>. In contrast, numerous stacking faults are observed at 600
