Abstract
Piling-ups of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) arrays against interfaces are known to produce hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening and strain hardening to enhance the strength and ductility of heterostructured materials. Here we report an interesting dislocation mechanism that can produce strong HDI hardening: consecutive reflections of GND planar piling-up arrays near the opposite phase boundaries in a heterostructured AlCoCrFeNi2 high entropy alloy (HEA). In contrast, dislocation transmission was found at grain boundaries in the fcc phase. The discovery here provides guidance for future materials design, which may improve the combination of strength and ductility of metallic materials. © 2023 The Author(s).
