Figure 1
Typical example of trans-scale observation of the solidification microstructure in HEAs [2,3]
Trans-scale observations using Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) [1] is effective to clarify the solidification microstructure of High Entropy Alloys especially for the macro-segregation and micro-segregation. Figure 1 shows the typical example of trans-scale observation of the solidification microstructure in AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic HEAs [2,3].

AlCoCrFeNi2.1 Eutectic HEAs
Typical example of cast process dependence on the solidification microstructure in AlCoCrFeNi2.1 Eutectic HEAs [3-5]
Eutectic High Entropy Alloys (EHEAs) were suggested based on the concept of combining bcc- and fcc-structured HEAs to achieve a balance of strength and ductility by Lu et al. [1,2]. The composite structure could be obtained from the eutectic reaction occurring in the thermal melt during solidification. The fabrication of industrial-scale ingots of AlCoCrFeNi2.1 EHEAs was attempted to research future applications for engineering cast materials. The influence of the cast process on the solidification microstructure in AlCoCrFeNi2.1 EHEAs was investigated [3-5]. The size of the microstructure exhibited a cooling-rate dependence; as the cooling rate increased, the secondary dendrite space arming and lamellar size of the eutectic structure became finer [3,4]. The rapidly solidified melt-spun ribbon shows a fine poly-crystalline structure with fcc matrix phase and crystalline precipitates in the grain boundary, indicating that the solidification structure in the melt-spun ribbon was significantly different from that obtained by conventional casting processes [5].
