A Novel Al_0.5CuFeNiV High Entropy Alloy: Phase Analysis, Microstructure and Compressive Properties

Jiaojiao Yi, Lu Wang, Fuyang Cao, Lin Yang and Mingqin Xu

This paper has been retracted from Mater. Trans. by the author’s request due to the following reason.

The temperature sensor of the vacuum furnace was problematic, which was recently observed during our other experiments, resulting in that the microstructures of the annealed samples and their corresponding mechanical properties are unreliable. During the annealing experiment, several samples were annealed together during a single-time. Thus, incorrectness was not found before in spite of multiple tests of the annealed samples under the same conditions. The immediate and final result is that there are some unacceptable drawbacks in the results and discussions.
