A new mechanism for improving electromagnetic properties based on tunable crystallographic structures of FeCoNiSixAl0.4 high entropy alloy powders

Abstract

Mechanical grinding method was employed to prepare FeCoNiSixAl0.4 high entropy alloy powders, which present a simple solid solution structure (FCC and BCC). After annealing at 673 K, a large amount of BCC phase precipitate and a small amount of CoFe2O4 phase generate. The change of crystal structure may lead to an increase in Ms (from 100.3 emu g−1 to 124.2 emu g−1) and a decrease in Hc (from 107 Oe to 59.5 Oe for FeCoNiSi0.3Al0.4). The silica content has a significant effect on the electromagnetic parameters of the as-milled and as-annealed alloy powders, presenting the trend of first increase and then decrease. And the dielectric constant is obviously improved after annealing (e.g. from 8.48 to 11.21 and from 0.15 to 2.84 for the ε′ and ε′′ of FeCoNiSi0.3Al0.4 at 18 GHz, respectively), while the permeability is reduced. Compared with those of the as-milled samples, the μ′ of as-annealed FeCoNiSixAl0.4 (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.4) remain unchanged or even increase due to the formation of CoFe2O4. Meanwhile, the relative content of the precipitated BCC to FCC for FeCoNiSi0.3Al0.4 enhance with the annealing temperature increase from 573 K to 773 K, and then reduce. And the ε′ and μ′ at 2 GHz present the same trend as the content ratio (ABCC/AFCC), while the ε′′ improve obviously after annealing, corresponding to the elevation of conductivity.
