Popis: Regularities of formation of thin foils (up to 100 μm) of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) of Cr-Fe-Co-Ni-Cu system at electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) were studied in the work. Thin foils of CrFeCoNiCu alloy were produced using a single-crucible evaporation with a constant rate of feeding of the alloy into the liquid pool. The influence of deposition temperature on the structure of the produced foils is considered. X-ray methods were used to study the phase composition and the texture of CrFeCoNiCu foils. Foils deposited at temperature below 923 K exhibit a single-FCC structure and low degree of texture. It is shown that increase in deposition temperature to 973 K leads to the transition from the foil microstructure containing almost randomly oriented nanosized crystallites separated by voided boundaries to columnar-like grains microstructure exhibiting a two-component axial 〈111〉 + 〈100〉 texture. Moreover, the increase of deposition temperature to 1023 K results in the transition into dual-FCC phase state. Effect of the structure change on mechanical properties of the deposited foils was analyzed.
