Abstract
This work aims to prepare novel FeCoCrNiBSi high-entropy amorphous alloy coatings using atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) and high-velocity air-fuel (HVAF) spraying techniques. Further, the microstructure, mechanical characteristics, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the prepared coatings are comprehensively examined. The findings reveal that both APS and HVAF-sprayed coatings exhibit a typical laminar structure. The HVAF coating demonstrates significantly lower porosity than the APS coating. Brittle spalling is identified as the primary wear mechanism, with the HVAF coating showing approximately five times greater wear resistance than the APS coating. After 10 days of immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the self-corrosion current density of the HVAF coating is found to be 1.15 μA/cm2, which is significantly lower than that of the APS coating (4.05 μA/cm2). Additionally, the charge transfer resistance of the HVAF coating is 43,387 Ω·cm2, which is approximately 3.5 times higher than that of the APS coating. The outstanding corrosion resistance of the HVAF coating can be ascribed to the formation of a stable passive layer on its surface. Overall, this study offers useful insights into the development of economical, high-performance coating materials and key technologies for preparing high-entropy amorphous alloys.
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.
