Abstract
Magnesium alloys has been presented to have promising application value. Their use, however, is severely hindered by their poor wear and corrosion resistance. Herein, the Ti3Ni2.5Al2Cu2.5 medium entropy alloy (MEA) coating with good metallurgical properties have been successfully prepared on the surface of AZ91D magnesium alloy by laser cladding. Furthermore, the Cu-Al transition layer was further designed to overcome the problem of high dilution rate in the cladding process. A systematic analysis was performed on the microstructure, element distribution, microhardness, wear behavior and corrosion resistance. The results showed that the Cu-Al transition layer was composed of Cu3Al2, AlCuMg and Cu2Mg phases and it could effectively solve the problems of micro-cracks and magnesium dilution caused by cladding of high melting point material. The phase composition of the top layer in Ti3Ni2.5Al2Cu2.5 MEA coating included BCC structural phase, B2 structural phase and (Cu, Ni) Ti intermetallic compound. The microhardness of Ti3Ni2.5Al2Cu2.5 MEA coating was 562.45 ± 15.02 HV0.3, which was about 9 times higher than that of the substrate (60.05 ± 9.02 HV0.3). More remarkable, the prepared MEAs coating significantly improve the corrosion and wear resistance ability of the AZ91D substrate.
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.
