Solid solution induced back-stress in multi-principal element alloys: Experiment and modeling

The kinematic and isotropic hardening behavior was investigated for high and medium entropy alloys with a single-phase face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. The cross-slip associated with screw dislocations in FCC structures is strongly influenced by local fluctuations in the spatial distribution of different atom species. The local atomic arrangements inhibit the movement of Shockley partial dislocations during plastic deformation, thereby …
