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.

Wear And Corrosion Resistance

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.

Wear And Corrosion Resistance

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.

Wear And Corrosion Resistance

The paper presents the study results of a laser cladding process of C45 steel using powder mixtures. The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructure, X-ray diffraction (XRD), chemical composition (EDS), microhardness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the newly obtained coatings. Modified coatings were prepared using laser cladding technology. A 1 kW continuous wave Yb:YAG disk laser with a powder feeding system was applied. Two different powder mixtures as well as various laser beam parameters were used. The first powder mixture contained Fe–B, and the second mixture was Fe–B–B4C–Si. Two values of laser beam power (600 and 800 W) and three values of scanning speed (600, 800, and 1000 mm/min) were applied during the studies. As a result of the influence of the laser beam, the zones enriched with modifying elements were obtained. Based on the results of XRD, the presence of phases derived from borides and carbides was found. In all cases analyzed, EDS studies showed that there is an increased content of boron in the dendritic areas, while there is an increased silicon content in interdendritic spaces. The addition of B4C and Si improved properties such as microhardness as well as wear and corrosion resistance. The microhardness of the coating increased from approx. 400 HV to approx. 1100 HV depending on the laser parameters used. The best corrosion resistance was obtained for the Fe–B–B4C–Si coating produced using the highest laser beam scanning speed. An improvement in wear resistance can be seen after wear tests, where the weight loss decreased from about 0.08 g to about 0.05 g.

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.
