This work studied the effect of niobium-content on the microstructures, hardness, and corrosion properties of CrFeCoNiNb alloys. Results indicated that the microstructures of these alloys changed from granular structures (CrFeCoNi alloy) to the hypereutectic structures (CrFeCoNiNb and CrFeCoNi alloys), and then to the hypoeutectic microstructures (CrFeCoNiNb and CrFeCoNi alloys). The lattice constants of the major two phases in these alloys, fcc and Laves phases (hcp), increased with the increasing of Nb-content because of solid-solution strengthening. The hardness of CrFeCoNiNb alloys also had the same tendency. Adding niobium would slightly lessen the corrosion resistance of CrFeCoNiNb alloys in 1 M deaerated sulfuric acid and 1 M deaerated sodium chloride solutions, but the CrFeCoNiNb alloys still had better corrosion resistance in comparison with commercial 304 stainless steel. In these dual-phased CrFeCoNiNb alloys, the fcc phase was more severely corroded than the Laves phase after polarization tests in these two solutions.

The composition of the CrFeCoNiNb high-entropy alloy was selected from the FCC phase in a CrFeCoNiNb alloy. The alloy was melted in an argon atmosphere arc-furnace, followed by annealing in an air furnace. The dendrites of the alloy were in the FCC phase, and the eutectic interdendrites of the alloy comprised HCP and FCC phases.

The effects of niobium and molybdenum additions on the microstructures, hardness and corrosion behaviors of CrFeCoNi(Nb,Mo) alloys were investigated. All of the CrFeCoNi(Nb,Mo) alloys displayed dendritic microstructures. The dendrites of CrFeCoNiNb and CrFeCoNiNbMo alloys were a hexagonal close packing (HCP) phase and the interdendrites were a eutectic structure of HCP and face-centered cubic (FCC) phases.
