Abstract
NiCoCrAlY high entropy alloy (HEA) coating (47.1 wt.% Ni, 23 wt.% Co, 17 wt.% Cr, 12.5 wt.% Al, and 0.4 wt.% Y) was deposited on a stainless steel subtract by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). The as-deposited coating was about 300 μm thickness with <1% porosity. The microstructure of the coating consisted of dispersed secondary phases/intermetallics in the solid solution. The stress–strain behaviour of this coating was investigated in micro-scale with the help of in situ micro-pillar compression. The experimental results show that yield and compressive stress in the cross-section of the coating was higher (1.27 ± 0.10 MPa and 2.19 ± 0.10 GPa, respectively) than that of the planar direction (0.85 ± 0.09 MPa and 1.20 ± 0.08 GPa, respectively). The various secondary/intermetallic phases (γ′–Ni3Al, β–NiAl) that were present in the coating microstructure hinder the lattice movement during compression, according to Orowan mechanism. In addition to that, the direction of the loading to that of the orientation of the phase/splat boundaries dictate the crack propagation architecture, which results in difference in the micro-mechanical properties.
