Formation of a Cr-rich σ-phase in the CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy during long term exposures at intermediate temperatures (< 1073 K) is detrimental for the mechanical properties. The σ-phase represents a topologically close-packed complex phase with a tetragonal structure. The diffusion processes which take place in the σ-phase are very important to understand the kinetics of precipitation of this phase in the cantor alloy. So far, there are no reports on diffusion in the σ-phase composed of elements in Cantor alloys.
In the present work, the σ-phase with the composition Co46Cr15.2Fe16.3Mn17Ni5.5 (in at.%) was produced and investigated. For the first time, tracer diffusion of Ni and Fe was measured in the temperature interval from 928 - 1173 K using 64Ni and 58Fe natural isotopes in combination with depth profiling by a secondary ion mass spectroscopy. Diffusion of both Ni and Fe in the σ-phase is found to be faster compared to that in the Cantor alloy. Various reasons influencing diffusion in the σ-phase and its effect on phase stability of the Cantor alloy system are discussed.
