In order to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of an AZ91D magnesium alloy substrate, an Al0.5CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy coating was successfully prepared on an AZ91D magnesium alloy surface by laser cladding using mixed elemental powders. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the microstructure of the coating. The wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating were evaluated by dry sliding wear and potentiodynamic polarization curve test methods, respectively. The results show that the coating was composed of a simple FCC solid solution phase with a microhardness about 3.7 times higher than that of the AZ91D matrix and even higher than that of the same high-entropy alloy prepared by an arc melting method. The coating had better wear resistance than the AZ91D matrix, and the wear rate was about 2.5 times lower than that of the AZ91D matrix. Moreover, the main wear mechanisms of the coating and the AZ91D matrix were different. The former was abrasive wear and the latter was adhesive wear. The corrosion resistance of the coating was also better than that of the AZ91D matrix because the corrosion potential of the former was more positive and the corrosion current was smaller.

In this study, a CrFeMoNbTiW high-entropy alloy (HEA) coating was prepared on a Q245R steel (American grade: SA515 Gr60) substrate by means of laser cladding. The effects of annealing temperature on the microstructure and wear resistance of the CrFeMoNbTiW coating were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a Vickers hardness tester and a roller friction wear tester. The results showed that the coating was mainly composed of body-centered cubic (BCC) solid solution and face-centered cubic (FCC) structural (Nb,Ti)C carbides prior to annealing, exhibiting an interdendritic structure and needlelike dendritic crystal structure with average microhardness of 682 HV0.2. The coarsening of the dendrite arms increased gradually after a 10-h long annealing treatment at 800 °C, 900 °C and 1000 °C, and a small amount of Laves phase was produced. After annealing, the highest microhardness value of the as-annealed coating reached 1176 HV0.2, which represents an increase of approximately 72.5% compared to that of the as-deposit coating. The wear resistance testing results imply that this type of coating retains good wear resistance following the annealing treatment and that its wear resistance increases in proportion to the annealing temperature in a range from 800 °C to 1000 °C.

The FeCoCrNiBx high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings with three different boron (B) contents were synthesized on Q245R steel (American grade: SA515 Gr60) by laser cladding deposition technology. Effects of B content on the microstructure and wear properties of FeCoCrNiBx HEA coating were investigated. In this study, the phase composition, microstructure, micro-hardness, and wear resistance (rolling friction) were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a micro hardness tester, and a roller friction wear tester, respectively. The FeCoCrNiBx coatings exhibited a typical dendritic and interdendritic structure, and the microstructure was refined with the increase of B content. Additionally, the coatings were found to be a simple face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution with borides. In terms of mechanical properties, the hardness and wear resistance ability of the coating can be enhanced with the increase of the B content, and the maximum hardness value of three HEA coatings reached around 1025 HV0.2, which is higher than the hardness of the substrate material. It is suggested that the present fabricated HEA coatings possess potentials in application of wear resistance structures for Q245R steel.

AlCoCrFeNiNbx (x in molar ratio x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings were manufactured on 304 stainless steel by laser cladding. The constituent phases, microstructures, chemical composition, micro-hardness and wear resistance of the HEA coatings were investigated respectively by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), a Vickers hardness tester and a friction/wear testing machine. It was found that an AlCoCrFeNi alloy coating without Nb consisted of body-centered-cubic (BCC) and order BCC (B2) phases, while the AlCoCrFeNiNbx (x > 0) alloy coatings consisted of BCC, B2 and Laves phases. Microstructures of the AlCoCrFeNiNbx alloy coatings evolved from equiaxed grain (x = 0) to hypoeutectic (0.25 ≤ x < 0.75), then to full eutectic (x = 0.75), and finally to hypereutectic (x > 0.75). With increasing Nb content, the Vickers hardness values increased. AlCoCrFeNiNb0.75 alloy coating with a fully eutectic microstructure demonstrated the best wear resistance among the AlCoCrFeNiNbx (x ≥ 0) alloy coatings.

Coatings with high entropy alloys of the AlCoCrFeNiV system were obtained by selective laser melting on low carbon steel substrates. The effect of the variation of the Fe and V contents as well as the laser processing parameters in the development of the coating were evaluated. The coatings were obtained from the simple powder mixtures of the high purity elemental components in a planetary ball mill. The coatings were obtained by using CO2 laser with a power of 100 W, diameter of 0.16 mm, and scan speed varying from 3 to 12 mm/s. Phase constituents, microstructure and hardness were investigated by XRD, SEM, and microhardness tester, respectively. Wear resistance measurements were carried out by the micro-abrasion method using ball-cratering tests. The coatings presented good adhesion to the substrate and high hardness, of the order of 480 to 650 HV. Most homogeneous coating with nominal composition was obtained by using the higher scan speed, 12 mm/s. Vanadium addition increased hardness and gave rise to a high entropy alloy coating composed by BCC solid solutions. Ball cratering tests conducted on HEA layer showing improvement of material wear resistance, when compared to base substrate, decreasing up to 88% its wear rate, from 1.91x10-6 mm3/Nmm to 0.23x10-6 mm3/Nmm.

For the purpose of expanding the application scope of HEA coating manufactured on the surface modification of materials, in this work, the Al1.5CrFeNiTi0.5 and Al1.5CrFeNiTi0.5W0.5 HEA coatings were successfully manufactured using laser cladding method on SUS304. The microstructures and wear resistance of coatings are researched systematically. It is found that the W0 and W0.5 HEA coatings all exhibit the dendritic structure, which are constituted by BCC phases and Laves phases. With W element addition, the phase structures of W0.5 coating remain unchanged. W is dissolved in both two phases, but the solid solubility in Laves phase is higher compared to that in BCC phase. W0.5 coating with the highest microhardness of 848.34 HV, and the W0 coating with the microhardness of 811.45 HV, both of whose microhardness are four times more than that of SUS304 substrate. Among all samples, the W0.5 coating shows the optimal wear performance because of its larger content of hard second phase ( Laves phase).
