Popis: ABSTRACTThe Hall-Petch strengthening coefficient of face-centered cubic alloys has the potential to increase. Herein, we experimentally determined an unconventionally large Hall-Petch coefficient equal to 1100 MPa·µm1/2 and a large lattice friction stress for novel Co0.95Cr0.8Fe0.25Ni1.8Mo0.475 high-entropy alloys (Mo0.475 HEAs). Detailed microstructural characterizations showed Mo segregation at grain boundaries (GBs) and no apparent nano-clustering in the matrix. With the increased Mo content, Mo segregating at GBs is an unexpected outcome. The unconventionally large Hall-Petch coefficient is ascribed to the newly generated effect due to Mo segregation at GBs, besides the factors in the grain interior, e.g. the increased solid-solution strengthening. This study is dedicated to enriching the diversity of Hall-Petch strengthening mechanisms for the development of high-strength materials.
