High-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings of CoCrFeNiTiAlx (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) were prepared on the surface of AISI1045 steel by laser cladding. The effects of the Al content on the microstructure, composition, phase constitution, and wear and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated. The results showed that when increasing the Al element content from 0 to 0.5, the phase constitution of the CoCrFeNiTiAlx coating changed from a single Face-centered cubic (FCC) phase to Body-centered cubic 1 (BCC1) and Body-centered cubic 2 (BCC2) phases, with a small amount of Laves phase, which obviously improved the friction and corrosion resistance of the coating. With further enhancing of the Al content, the amount of BCC1 phase increased, while the BCC2 phase and the Laves phase decreased. The CoCrFeNiTiAl2 HEA coating transformed into a single BCC1 phase, with retrogressive wear and corrosion resistance. It was found that the Al0.5 alloy coating exhibits excellent wear resistance, high hardness, and corrosion resistance in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Furthermore, the effect of the Al content on the microstructure, phase, and the relating properties of the CoCrFeNiTiAlx HEA coatings is also discussed.

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.

High-entropy alloy coatings (HEAC) exhibit good frictional wear and corrosion resistances, which are of importance for structure materials. In this study, the microstructure, surface morphology, hardness, frictional wear and corrosion resistance of an AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy coating synthesized by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) were investigated. The frictional wear and corrosion resistance of the coating are simultaneously improved with an increase of the power of APS. The influence of the APS process on the microstructure and mechanical behavior is elucidated. The mechanisms of frictional wear and corrosion behavior of the AlCoCrFeNi HEAC are discussed in detail.

AbstractThe use of interstitial elements has been a key factor for the development of different kinds of steels. However, this aspect has been little explored in the field of high entropy alloys (HEAs). In this investigation, the effect of carbon and nitrogen in a near-equiatomic CrMnFeCoNi HEA is studied, analyzing their impact on the microstructure, and mechanical properties from 77K to 673K, as well as wear, and corrosion resistance. Carbon and nitrogen are part of the FCC solid solution and contribute to the formation of precipitates. An increase in the yield and ultimate tensile strength accompanied with a decrease in the ductility are the main effects of C and N. The impact toughness of the interstitial-free material is higher than that of C and C+N alloyed systems. Compared to CrNi and CrMn austenitic steels, the wear resistance of the alloys at room temperature is rather low. The surface corrosion resistance of HEAs is comparable to austenitic steels; nevertheless HEAs are more susceptible to pitting in chloride containing solutions.

Two new kinds of Ni-based and Fe-based alloy power have been developed. Both kinds of power have been successfully coated by laser cladding on the surface of stainless steel as strengthening layers. The morphology and microstructure of these coatings have been analyzed by SEM and XRD, the mircohardness, wear and corrosion resistance of Ni-based and Fe-based laser cladding coatings have been measured respectively. The analysis reveals that both coatings with smooth and successive surfaces and homogeneous morphology have been obtained under the proper laser processing parameters; besides, Ni-based and Fe-based coatings have fine, well-proportioned and dense microstructure, and better joints with the substrates, respectively. So the results indicate that Ni-based and Fe-based alloys can supersede the cobalt-based alloys in the certain conditions.
