The results show all the samples consist of a mixed structure of face-centered-cubic (FCC) phase and body-centered-cubic (BCC) phase. The addition of Sn promotes the formation of BCC phase, and it also affects the shape of Cu-rich nano-precipitates in BCC matrix. It also shows that the Curie temperatures (Tc) of the FCC phase and the saturation magnetization (Ms) of the FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 \u2264 x \u2264 0.10) HEAs increase greatly while the remanence (Br) decreases after the addition of Sn into FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8 HEA. The thermomagnetic curves indicate that the phases of the FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 \u2264 x \u2264 0.10) HEAs will transform from FCC with low Tc to BCC phase with high Tc at temperature of 600\u2013700 K. This work provides a new idea for FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 \u2264 x \u2264 0.10) HEAs for their potential application as soft magnets to be used at high temperatures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e20110872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,14]],"date-time":"2018-11-14T02:42:41Z","timestamp":1542163361000},"page":"872","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Magnetic Properties and Microstructure of FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 \u2264 x \u2264 0.10) High-Entropy Alloys"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Zhong","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chenxu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linye","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"},{"name":"Shanghai Marine Diesel Engine Reserch Institute, Shanghai 201108, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"},{"name":"Qianjiang College, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 310036, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minxiang","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaohua","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Materials Science, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"299","DOI":"10.1002\/adem.200300567","article-title":"Nanostructured high-entropy alloys with multiple principal elements novel alloy design concepts and outcomes","volume":"6","author":"Yeh","year":"2004","journal-title":"Adv.
