Abstract: FeCrMnAlxCu(2-x)(x=1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) was prepared by vacuum arc melting technology, and the influence of Al and Cuon the microstructure, mechanical properties, and tribological behavior of FeCrMnAlxCu(2-x) HEAs was investigated. The results revealed that FeCrMnAlxCu(2-x) HEAs is BCC solid solution structure. The microstructure of the alloys consist of dendritic structure. With increasing x, the yield strength gradually increase and reach a maximum value of 1 092.31 MPa at x=1.5. Both compressive strength and deformation rate exhibit a decreasing trend with increasing x, reaching their maximum values at x=1.3, which are 1 517.84 MPa and 43.36%, respectively. The FeCrMnAl1.7Cu0.3 HEA exhibit a maximum microhardness of 559.9 HV. The minimum wear rate is found to be 4.70×10-6 mm3·N-1·m-1. As x increased, the dominant wear mechanisms in the alloy are primarily abrasive wear, adhesive wear, and oxidative wear.
