Abstract
The CrMnFeCoNi high entropy alloy coatings were prepared on the surface of Q345 steel using a temperature field-assisted laser cladding process, and the effects of the applied temperature field on the cladding coatings were studied. The microstructures and corrosion morphologies of the coatings were observed, and the elemental distribution, hardness, effective elastic modulus, electrochemical corrosion performance, and corrosion products of different coatings were analyzed. The results show that the porosity of the HEA coatings prepared with a temperature field is reduced to below 50 % of the initial level. The microstructure of the coating changed, with the nanoindentation hardness of the coating increasing by up to 0.55 GPa, enhancing the mechanical properties. Among all the coatings, the coating prepared at 250 °C temperature field exhibited the best corrosion resistance, with corrosion potential and current density of −0.27 V and 0.15 μA/cm2, respectively, improving the corrosion potential by 0.1 V and reducing the current density by 1.08 μA/cm2 compared to the sample prepared at room temperature. After incorporating the temperature field, the stability of the passive film on the coating during corrosion improved, and the nucleation rate of pitting decreased. Therefore, incorporating an appropriate temperature field during laser cladding can effectively enhance the overall performance of the CrMnFeCoNi HEA coating.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
