Abstract
A group of CoCrFeNiTiNbx high entropy alloys (HEAs) coatings were produced by laser cladding. The effect of Nb content on the microstructure and wear resistance of the HEAs coatings was investigated. The results indicated that adding Nb promoted the phase transition from BCC to FCC and the formation of Fe2Nb Laves phase, The diffraction peaks of FCC and BCC phases were firstly shifted to smaller angle as Nb content was increased, and then shifted to larger angle. Adding Nb promoted brittle fracture of more coarse dendrites to formed fine dendrites and equiaxed crystals homogenizing the microstructure in the HEAs coatings, as well as the formation of dense dislocations and dislocation interaction. The microhardness of the HEAs coatings was firstly increased and then decreased as Nb content was increased, and the change of the mass loss and friction coefficient was opposite trend. Compared with CoCrFeNiTiNb0.0 HEAs coatings, the microhardness of the CoCrFeNiTiNb1.0 HEAs coatings was improved by 25.00%, the mass loss was reduced by 28.27%, and and friction coefficient was the lowest. The wear mechanism of the HEAs coatings was transformed from the adhesive wear and oxidative wear accompanied by the abrasive wear to the abrasive wear accompanied by the adhesive wear and oxidative wear as Nb content was gradually increased.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
