Investigating the Effects of Boron Nitride on Mechanical Properties of CoCrFeNiMn Composites

High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) are gaining attention for their exceptional properties but achieving precision and surface quality in powder metallurgy (PM) can be challenging. This study investigates the mechanical properties of CoCrFeNiMn HEAs produced through the flake powder metallurgy (FPM) technique and laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) preservative industrial, which established outstanding antiwear properties. To assess the enhancement of mechanical behavior and wear resistance by incorporating boron nitride (BN) into CoCrFeNiMn composites is fabricated via FPM. By incorporating BN into the composites, the mechanical behavior is significantly enhanced, leading to improved resistance against wear. Furthermore, the study delivers comprehensions into the serration behavior microstructure and shear localization in a high‐strain‐rate‐deformed CoCrFeMnNi entropy‐high alloy produces through metallurgy in powder. The serration behavior of the CoCrFeMnNi HEA is discussed concerning strain rate and temperature. Accordingly, the study employs the LPBF technique to fabricate the CoCrFeMnNi alloy from the prepared flakes. Microstructural characterization using scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction techniques to explore phase distribution, grain size, and possible segregation in the CoCrFeMnNi alloy produced through FPM‐LPBF is performed. In this particular investigation, a gradient microstructure is achieved through fusion in a laser‐powder bed of CoCrFeMnNi HEA onto highly deformed equal‐atomic HEA sheets. The resulting combination of partially recrystallized regions, exhibiting elevated yield strength, and fully recrystallized regions, demonstrates enhanced strain hardenability and elongation, and yields superior mechanical properties. The results obtained from the FPM‐LPBF CoCrFeMnNi alloy will be compared with those of conventionally processed CoCrFeMnNi to highlight the advantages and improvements achieved through the proposed method. The study findings reveal that the fundamental understanding of HEAs’ behavior under LPBF with FPM affords valuable insights into optimizing the processing parameters and achieving superior mechanical attributes.
