Abstract: In order to develop new alloy materials with excellent high temperature oxidation resistance, Al and Ta was added in a synergistic manner into the base substrate of CoCrNi alloy to prepare (CoCrNi)96-xTa4Alx(x=3, 6, 12) high entropy alloy, and the effect of Al content on microstructure, phase structure, high temperature oxidation resistance and oxidation kinetics at 1200 ℃ of the alloy was studied. The results show that with the increase of Al content, the matrix of the (CoCrNi)96-xTa4Alx(x=3, 6, 12) high entropy alloy gradually transforms from FCC phase to BCC phase, and the (CoCrNi)90Ta4Al6 alloy forms FCC+BCC dual-phase. The (CoCrNi)96-xTa4Alx(x=3, 6, 12) high entropy alloy exhibits good oxidation resistance after high temperature cyclic oxidation at 1200 ℃. Moreover, with the increase of Al content, the oxidation resistance also increases, and the oxidation kinetic curve and oxidation rate constant are stable. The surface oxide layer of the (CoCrNi)96-xTa4Alx(x=3, 6, 12) high entropy alloy after oxidation is mainly composed of Cr2O3, Al2O3 and a small amount of Ta2O5. The complete and dense oxide layer formed at high temperature effectively protects the alloy, so that the high temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy is very excellent.
