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.

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.

Wear And Corrosion Resistance

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.

CoCrFeNi2V0.5Tix high entropy alloy coatings were synthesized by laser cladding on Ti-6Al-4V (annotated as TC4) substrate. The microstructures, hardness, and wear properties of the coatings were studied in detail. The results showed that these coatings were all composed of body-centered cubic (BCC) solid solution, (Co,Ni)Ti2 phase, and Ti-rich phase. With the increase of Ti content (x in the range of 0–1.0), the hardness of these coatings (about 960 HV) was basically unchanged and stabilized, whereas, when x was increased to 1.25, the correspondent hardness was decreased significantly to about 830 HV. Compared with original substrate, the wear resistance of high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings was greatly improved. In particular, CoCrFeNi2V0.5Ti0.75 (donated as Ti0.75) exhibited the lowest wear rate, width, and depth of tracks of wear, indicating the best wear resistance. Moreover, the wear mechanisms of Ti0.75 coating were mainly adhesive wear and oxidative wear.

In this work, the CoCrFeNiNbx (x: molar ratio, x = 0.45, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) high entropy alloy coatings were synthesized on a 304 stainless steel substrate by laser cladding to investigate the effect of Nb element on their microstructure, hardness, and wear resistance. The results indicated that in all of the CoCrFeNiNbx alloy coatings, two phases were found: One was a face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution phase, the other was a Co1.92Nb1.08-type Laves phase. The microstructures of samples varied from hypoeutectic structure (x = 0.45 and 0.5) to hypereutectic structure (x = 0.75 and 1.0). The Vickers hardness of CoCrFeNiNbx alloy coatings was obviously improved compared with the substrate. The hardness value of the CoCrFeNiNb1.0 alloy coating reached to 590 HV, which was 2.8 times higher than that of the substrate. There was also a corresponding variation in wear properties with hardness evolutions. Wherein the hypereutectic CoCrFeNiNb1.0 alloy coating with the highest hardness exhibited the best wear resistance under the same wear condition, the dry wear test showed the wear mass loss of CoCrFeNiNb1.0 alloy coating was less than a third of the substrate. The high hardness and wear resistance properties were considered with the fine lamellar eutectic structure and proper combination of FCC and Laves phases.

Y2o3 Addition

Al0.5CoCrCuFeNiSi high entropy alloy coating without and with a 1 wt.% Y2O3 addition was fabricated by laser cladding technique on H13 substrate. The results showed that the laser cladding coatings without and with Y2O3 addition consist of a mixture of body centered cubic (BCC) dendrites and face centered cubic (FCC) interdendrites. With the addition of Y2O3, the peaks of BCC dendrites in the coating shifted to leftwards, which is caused by the distortion of lattice due to the dissolution of Y with larger atomic radius. There exist cracks and porosities in the coating without Y2O3 addition. With Y2O3 addition, the cracks and porosities in the laser cladding coating were inhibited greatly. In addition, the microstructure of the coating with Y2O3 addition was refined due to the improving of the ratio of nucleation. The enhancement of properties, such as hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, of the coating with Y2O3 addition came from the inhibition of cracks and porosities and the refinement of microstructure.

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.

To improve the wear properties of AZ91D magnesium alloys, a AlFeCuCoNiCrTi1.5high entropy alloy (HEA) coating was fabricated on AZ91D magnesium alloys by laser cladding using mixed powders of Al, Fe, Cu, Co, Ni, Cr, and Ti. The microstructure of the HEA coating was characterized by OM, SEM, and XRD. The wear resistance of the HEA coating was evaluated under dry sliding wear test condition at room temperature. The results show that the HEA coating mainly consists of a simple BCC solid solution phase. The HEA coating exhibits excellent wear resistance. The main wear mechanisms of the HEA coating and the AZ91D substrate were different, the former dominated by oxidative abrasive wear and the latter suffered from both adhesive and abrasive wear.

In order to improve the surface properties of Ti-6Al-4V, high-entropy alloy coatings were prepared by in-situ laser cladding on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The microstructure, micro-hardness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance were investigated. The results showed that the high-entropy alloy coating was composed of BCC high-entropy alloy phase, α-Ti phase and (Ni, Co)Ti2 phase. The micro-hardness of the high-entropy alloy coatings is much higher than that of Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The coating also has a better corrosion resistance than Ti-6Al-4V substrate, even superior to 304SS in 3.5wt.% NaCl solution at room temperature. Compared with Ti-6Al-4V substrate, the high-entropy alloy coating has a greater wear resistance with the wear mass loss decreased 28.2% and 23.1%, respectively. Wear patterns of Ti-6Al-4V substrate and high-entropy alloy coatings are the coexistence of adhesive wear and abrasive wear, but the wear degree of high-entropy alloy coatings is lower.
