Effect of solid-solution strengthening on deformation mechanisms and strain hardening in medium-entropy V_1-xCr_xCoNi alloys

High- and medium-entropy alloys (HEAs and MEAs) possess high solid-solution strength. Numerous investigations have been conducted on its impact on yield strength, however, there are limited reports regarding the relation between solid-solution strengthening and strain-hardening rate. In addition, no attempt has been made to account for the...
