Surface hardening of CrCoFeNi high-entropy alloys via Al laser alloying

Undeformed face-centred cubic (FCC) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) always possess excellent plasticity but low hardness. In this work, Al alloying on the surface of a CrCoFeNi FCC HEA is realized by laser alloying technique. An Al1.5CoCrFeNi body-centred cubic (BCC) HEA is in-situ generated on the surfa...
