The phase transformed volume fractions are determined from the thermal expansion curve using the lever rule method, and the deformed sample exhibits a much higher transformation rate. Two kinetic parameters, activation energy (E) and kinetic exponent (n) are determined using Kissinger\u2013 Akahira\u2013Sunose (KAS) and Johnson\u2013Mehl\u2013Avrami (JMA) method, respectively. Results show that a pre-deformed sample shows a much lower activation energy and higher kinetic exponent compared with the as-cast sample, which are interpreted based on the deformation induced defects that can promote the nucleation and growth process during phase transformation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e20120917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,30]],"date-time":"2018-11-30T12:13:17Z","timestamp":1543579997000},"page":"917","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Effect of Cold Rolling on the Phase Transformation Kinetics of an Al0.5CoCrFeNi High-Entropy Alloy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8101-2967","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haoxue","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tong","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiaxiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8814-525X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William Yi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinshan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Solidification Processing, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710072, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"213","DOI":"10.1016\/j.msea.2003.10.257","article-title":"Microstructural development in equiatomic multicomponent alloys","volume":"375\u2013377","author":"Cantor","year":"2004","journal-title":"Mater.
