Coarse-grained non-equiatomic Al0.2Co1.5CrFeNi1.5Ti0.3 solid solutions (grain size > 1 mm) with single-phase face centered cubic structure (FCC), produced by arc-melting and solution annealing at 1150 degrees C for 3 h, exhibit a low yield strength of 540 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 917 MPa and elongation to fracture of 50%. By adjusting aging temperature and time, it can be strengthened without apparently sacrificing ductility. Structure characterizations using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveal that nano-sized, spherical, coherent, ordered L1(2) Ni-3(Ti,Al)-type precipitates are formed during aging at temperatures of 700-1000 degrees C. The average diameter of L1(2) precipitates increases from similar to 6 inn to similar to 50 nm when the solution annealed specimens are aged at 800 degrees C for 1 h-100 h. These aged alloys exhibit a similar yield strength of 750 MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 1160 MPa but a decreasing elongation to fracture from 42% to 12% in association with the increasing aging time from 1 h to 100 h. The increase in both yield and ultimate tensile strength without apparently sacrificing ductility after aging for 1-5 h is ascribed to uniformly distributed, nano-sized, coherent precipitates in the coarse-grained solid solution, where gliding dislocations cut through nano-sized coherent precipitates. The poor ductility associated with the long aging time is ascribed to the strong barrier of large precipitates to dislocation motion, resulting in dislocations pileups at precipitate-matrix interfaces, where gliding dislocations bypass a precipitate by looping it. These findings provide guidance for developing FCC-structured coarse-grained non-equiatomic alloys with superior strength-ductility combination.
