Abstract
To improve the hardness of AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy coatings, Ti and WC are added to the high-entropy alloys in this paper. Composite coatings of AlCoCrFeNi, Ti, and x-WC (x = 3, 6, 9 wt %) on the surface of H13 hot work die steel are prepared by laser cladding. Coatings are characterized by hardness test, electrochemical test, friction and wear experiment, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction). The results reveal that the crystal structure of the coatings does not alter after the addition of Ti and WC. Coatings consisting of BCC/B2 and precipitated phases. BCC/B2 phases are mainly Al–Ni, and Fe–Cr phases. The precipitated phases are the WC and TiC phases. The results indicate that the hardness is improved after the addition of Ti and WC. Besides, the wear mechanism becomes different, and the grain size is refined. Coating hardness is increased from 528.9HV0.5 to 625.3HV0.5. Wear mechanisms change to oxidative, adhesive, and abrasive wear with the addition of Ti and WC. The precipitation of the second phase deteriorates the corrosion resistance of the coatings.
期刊介绍:
Protection of Metals and Physical Chemistry of Surfaces is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes articles covering all aspects of the physical chemistry of materials and interfaces in various environments. The journal covers all related problems of modern physical chemistry and materials science, including: physicochemical processes at interfaces; adsorption phenomena; complexing from molecular and supramolecular structures at the interfaces to new substances, materials and coatings; nanoscale and nanostructured materials and coatings, composed and dispersed materials; physicochemical problems of corrosion, degradation and protection; investigation methods for surface and interface systems, processes, structures, materials and coatings. No principe restrictions exist related systems, types of processes, methods of control and study. The journal welcomes conceptual, theoretical, experimental, methodological, instrumental, environmental, and all other possible studies.
