Abstract

The ageing hardening mechanism of a newly designed Fe–Cr-based Fe65Cr13Cu3(CoMnMoNiAlTi)19 medium-entropy stainless alloy (ME-SA) with a simple bcc solid solution matrix was studied. This kind of ME-SA possessed a higher ageing hardness of approximately 584 HV and higher compressive stress and corrosion resistance than those of the conventional precipitation hardening stainless steel 17-4PH (Cr17Ni4Cu4Nb), which has comparable compressive strain. The well-dispersed B2-ordered phase in the cast state transformed to a D03 crystal structure with a higher ordering degree and reduced the precipitate size after ageing at 500 °C, thus promoting a great ageing hardening effect.
