Abstract

AlCrFeNiNbSi_x (x = 0, 0.4, 0.8) HEA coatings were fabricated on 304SS substrate using laser cladding technology. The influence of Si on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of the coatings was investigated. The findings revealed that all the designed coatings exhibited typical dendritic and interdendritic microstructure. The introduction of Si led to grain refinement, with the average grain size decreasing from 8.36 μm (Si0) to 5.02 μm (Si0.4). Phase analysis indicated that the Si0 coating consisted of BCC, FCC, and Laves phase, while the Si-containing AlCrFeNiNbSi_x coatings developed Fe₄Nb₄Si phase accompanied by a marked reduction in Laves phase. The electrochemical test results indicated that the corrosion resistance of all the AlCrFeNiNbSi_x coatings surpassed that of 304SS. Appropriate amount of Si can balance the microstructure uniformity and passivation behavior of the alloy. Among them, the Si0.4 coating showed the best corrosion resistance. The incorporation of Si element can facilitate the formation of the stable oxides, such as SiO₂ and Cr₂O₃, which can synergistically construct a dense composite passivation film that effectively inhibited the penetration of the corrosive ions.

Si对激光熔覆AlCrFeNiNbSix HEA涂层组织和腐蚀行为的影响

采用激光熔覆技术在304SS衬底上制备了AlCrFeNiNbSix (x = 0,0.4, 0.8) HEA涂层。研究了Si对涂层组织和腐蚀性能的影响。结果表明，所设计的涂层均具有典型的枝晶和枝晶间组织。Si的加入使晶粒细化，平均晶粒尺寸由8.36 μm （Si0）减小到5.02 μm （Si0.4）。相分析表明，Si0涂层由BCC相、FCC相和Laves相组成，而含si的AlCrFeNiNbSix涂层形成Fe4Nb4Si相，Laves相明显减少。电化学测试结果表明，AlCrFeNiNbSix涂层的耐蚀性均优于304SS涂层。适量的Si可以平衡合金的组织均匀性和钝化行为。其中Si0.4涂层的耐蚀性能最好。Si元素的掺入有利于SiO2、Cr2O3等稳定氧化物的形成，两者协同形成致密的复合钝化膜，有效抑制腐蚀离子的渗透。
