ABSTRACTLaser cladding CoCrFeNiTiNbB1.25 high entropy alloys (HEAs) coatings on H13 steel was fabricated. The effect of aging treatment temperature on microstructure and wear resistance of the HEAS coatings was investigated. Results showed the phases of the HEAs
coatings were not changed as the aging treatment increased, the volume fraction of TiB phase was firstly increased, then reduced. The diffraction peak of fcc phase was firstly shifted to the right, and then shifted to the left. The HEAs coatings consisted of typical dendrite, interdendritic
eutectic and dispersed intermetallic compound after aging treatment, and the dendrite obviously was coarsened after aging treatment at 850 °C. Compared with HEAs coatings before aging treatment, the microhardness of the HEAs coatings was firstly increased as the aging treatment temperature
increased, then decreased, and the mass loss was opposite. The microhardness and mass loss was decreased by 4.3% and 11.9%, respectively for the aging treatment at 750 °C. The wear mechanism of the HEAs coatings before aging treatment was the abrasive wear, and was the abrasive wear and
adhesive wear after aging treatment.
