Figures & data

Figure 1. Microstructure evolutions near the necking zone under different tensile strains in UFG CoCrFeMnNi HEAs at 77K. (a) Inverse pole figure map showing the equiaxed grains. (b) The distribution of grain sizes. (c) Tensile stress-strain curves of UFG HEAs at 77K. (d–f) Microstructure evolution near the necking zone and (g-i) corresponding SAED patterns for the ϵ = 20%, 30% and fractured samples. The existences of LAGB and twin-coupled shear band are indicated by the white and yellow arrows in (h) and (i), respectively.

Figure 2. The LAGB shear band under 30% tensile strain in UFG HEA at 77K. (a) Bright-field TEM image of LAGB shear band, confirmed by (b) corresponding SAED patterns. The indices of shear band and matrix are indicated by blue and white lines, respectively. (c) Parallel secondary nanotwins embedded in LAGB shear band, which is confirmed by the diffraction spots marked by yellow arrows in (b). (d) HRTEM image demonstrating the boundary of the LAGB shear band with inset FFT patterns.
