  • Publication number: 20240110263
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a high-entropy alloy and a manufacturing method therefor, and in particular, a high-entropy alloy and a manufacturing method therefor that comprises a multi-element alloy matrix and Cu, and comprises an alloy having a face-centered cubic (FCC)-based phase, such that the high-entropy alloy may have greater hardness and strength than an existing transition metal alloy while maintaining a FCC-based single phase, and has high lubricity.

  • Patent number: 11313018
    Abstract: Present invention is about a transformation-induced plasticity high-entropy alloy which can provide improved mechanical properties compared to those obtained by conventional methods, due to the phase transformation occurring at the time of deformation at a cryogenic temperature. According to the present invention, the high-entropy alloy (HEA) includes 10-35 at % of Co, 3-15 at % of Cr, 3-15 at % of V, 35-48 at % of Fe, and 0-25 at % of Ni (exclusive of 25), and mainly consists of an FCC phase at room temperature, wherein transformation-induced plasticity, in which at least part of the FCC phase changes to a BCC phase, occurs at a cryogenic temperature (?196° C.

  • Patent number: 11186892
    Abstract: Provided is a hot rolled steel sheet having excellent strength and elongation. The hot rolled steel sheet contains, by wt %: carbon (C): 0.05% or more and less than 0.4%, manganese (Mn): 10% to 15%, aluminum (Al): 2% or less, silicon (Si): 0.1 to 2%, molybdenum (Mo): 0.5% or less (excluding 0), vanadium (V): 0.5% or less (excluding 0), phosphorus (P): 0.01% or less, sulfur (S): 0.01% or less, and a remainder of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities. The hot rolled steel sheet has a microstructure of the hot rolled steel sheet containing, by area %, tempered martensite: 50% to 70%, secondary martensite: 20% or less (excluding 0), epsilon martensite: 2% or less (excluding 0), and retained austenite: 8% to 30%. The hot rolled steel sheet has a tensile strength of at least 1500 MPa, a yield strength of at least 900 MPa and elongation of at least 20%.
