The invention discloses an antibacterial high-entropy
alloy with
low copper content, a preparation method and application, and belongs to the technical field of
metal materials, the
chemical formula of the antibacterial high-entropy
alloy is AlxCoyCrCuzFeNiSi0.2, x is more than or equal to 0.3 and less than or equal to 0.6, y is more than or equal to 1.0 and less than or equal to 1.5, and z is more than or equal to 0.05 and less than or equal to 0.3; the
microstructure of the antibacterial high-entropy
alloy is of a two-phase structure and comprises a dendritic phase rich in Cr and Fe and an interdendritic phase rich in Al and Ni. The yield strength of the antibacterial high-entropy alloy is 751 MPa, the limit compressive strain is 40%-42%, and the
passivation interval is 0.5 V. The antibacterial high-entropy alloy has excellent
corrosion resistance, ions such as Al, Co, Ni and Cu can be dissolved out when the alloy is corroded by
bacteria, splitting of the
bacteria is inhibited under leading of the Co ions, and the antibacterial rate of 96%-98% on
escherichia coli in one day and 100% on
escherichia coli in three days is achieved; when no bacterial
corrosion exists, a compact oxidation film is rapidly generated on the surface, and release of harmful ions is inhibited. The method has great research value and significance in the aspects of
biomedicine,
food processing, living home, national important
engineering equipment and the like.
