Abstract
FeAlCrMoNb HEA coatings with different Mo contents were prepared on Zr-4 substrates via the magnetron sputtering method. The microstructure, mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of the FeAlCrMoNb coatings with different Mo contents were investigated in detail. The findings of the research revealed that the Mo0.10, Mo0.15 and Mo0.25 coatings were almost amorphous with some BCC nanocrystals present, and the Mo0.40 coating exhibited BCC structure. Compared with the other coatings, the Mo0.10 coating had the best mechanical properties and oxidation resistance. During the steam oxidation process at 1100 °C, the formation of surface oxides prevented the entry of O, which endowed the Mo0.10 coating with a good protective effect on the matrix. Finally, the steam oxidation mechanism of the Mo0.10 coating was described in detail.
