Abstract
To improve the performance of copper surface, a FeCoNiCrTi high entropy alloy coating was first attempted to be prepared on copper substrate by plasma cladding. The obtained single-layer coating had a smooth and flat surface, but the interfacial connection was poor. Interfacial defect analysis results showed that the alloying elements dominated by Ti in the coating reacted with the CuO formed during the preheating process on copper surface. A large amount of TiO2 and other complex oxides were generated and distributed at the interface, which hindered the interfacial connection. After introducing a Ni60A interlayer, the interface reaction between FeCoNiCrTi alloy and copper oxide was avoided, and the inter-diffusion of elements was promoted, thus forming a good metallurgical bonding. Furthermore, due to the dilution effect of Ni60A interlayer, the performance of FeCoNiCrTi surface layer slightly decreased, but still far superior to the Ni60A coating. The microhardness of FeCoNiCrTi surface layer was about 10.7 times that of copper substrate. The wear loss of the developed coating is only 1/2 of that of the single Ni60A coating at 600 °C. This study has a great significance for extending the application of FeCoNiCrTi high entropy alloy coatings in surface strengthening on copper.
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.
