Abstract
Multicomponent alloys have recently been shown to overcome the structural-functional barrier associated with soft magnetic materials. Here, single laser tracks have been used to investigate the effects of solidification velocity on the Al7Fe32.6Co27.7Ni27.7Ta5 (at pct) alloy. Ta-rich cell wall partitioning was shown to affect the final distribution and size of the precipitating L12 phase, after aging. These findings demonstrate that solidification rate control offers the potential to tailor localized performance in alloys with size-dependent precipitation properties.
