Abstrakt: This study investigates the impact of rare elements on high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and provides significant insights. By integrating varying proportions of Al-Nd and Al-Ce compounds into a CoCrFeNi-based alloy, shifts were detected in the microstructure and phase composition of grains. As the proportion of rare elements rose, their localization within the grain phase structure intensified, leading to overall coarsening. The heat transfer characteristics of HEA alloys containing rare elements exhibited variability, with notable phase transitions occurring at cryogenic temperatures based on the alloying constituents. Among the tested alloys, Ce10 and Ce20 alloys demonstrated the highest heat transfer rates (800 Wg − 1 ). Notably, an escalation in the rare element ratio added to the alloy resulted in a significant augmentation in hardness, nearly doubling the original level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
