Regularities of formation of thick (up to 100μm) condensates of high-entropic alloys of CrFeCoNiCu and AlCrFeCoNiCu systems from a vapor phase during electron beam deposition were investigated. Vacuum condensates of alloy CrFeCoNiCu at the stationary mode of evaporation of ingot CrFeCoNiCu and those of alloy AlCrFeCoNiCu by combined deposition of vapor flows of CrFeCoNiCu and Al on common substrate were produced. It was found that the stationary mode of evaporation of ingot CrFeCoNiC was preceded by a transition process of evaporation of elements with alternative ratios of components, predetermined by difference in coefficients of their activity in the melt pool. It is shown that the temperature boundaries of structural zones of vacuum condensates of high-entropic alloys were shifted with respect to boundaries of structural zones, characteristic to pure metals and compounds. Ref. 31, Tabl. 2, Fig. 8.
Key words: high-entropic alloys; electron beam deposition; vacuum condensates; phase composition; structural zones; crystallographic texture
