Here we report a strategy for overcoming the typically low strengths of face-centered cubic high-entropy alloys (HEAs) through exploiting soluble boron instead of the interfacial boron. We find that soluble boron increases elastic stress field at the recrystallized HEA grain structure, leading to the generation of short-range order (SRO) in those deformation structure under load at 77 K. The highly increased degree of SRO at planar dislocation slip band that forms during straining, proved by electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, strengthens a typical non-equimolar Fe40Mn40Co10Cr10 (at%) HEA, particularly increasing yield strengths by ~32%, to ~1.1 GPa compared to those of boron-free reference materials with similar grain sizes. Details will be discussed. |
