CoCrFeNiMn
CoCrFeNiMn, commonly referred to as the Cantor alloy, is a high-entropy alloy composed of cobalt, chromium, iron, manganese, and nickel in equal atomic fractions (20% each). It was introduced as a model system for high-entropy alloys in 2004, illustrating how multiple principal elements can form simplified solid solutions rather than complex intermetallic compounds.
At room temperature the alloy typically forms a single-phase face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution. The elements’
Mechanically, CoCrFeNiMn is noted for a favorable combination of strength and ductility, along with substantial fracture
In research contexts, the Cantor alloy serves as a benchmark for understanding deformation mechanisms in high-entropy
