20.88 high entropy alloy was tempered at different temperatures ( 673,723 K). The effects of tempering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the high entropy alloy were studied. The results show that the microstructures of the as-cast, 673 K tempered and 723 K tempered alloy were composed of a TiNi matrix phase of a body-centered cubic structure and a small amount of a face centered cubic structure Ti
2Ni second phase. With the increase of tempering temperature, the grains of TiNi phase and Ti
2Ni phase were refined. After tempering heat treatment, the elastic limit and yield strength of the as-cast alloy increased. The compressive strength of the 673 K tempered alloy was lower than that of the as-cast alloy, but when the tempering temperature increased to 723 K, the compressive strength increased and was higher than that of the as-cast alloy. The fracture mechanism of the as-cast high entropy alloy was mainly cleavage fracture, supplemented by intergranular fracture and ductile fracture. The fracture mechanism of the 673 K tempered and 723 K tempered high entropy alloy was mainly cleavage fracture, supplemented by intergranular fracture.
