Abstract
FeCoCrNiMo high–entropy alloy (HEA) was added into CuSn coating by laser cladding (LC), which highlighted the needs for more durable and wear–resistant alternatives. The effects of HEA mass fraction on the tribological properties were investigated, and the wear mechanism was also discussed in detail. The results show that the average coefficients of friction (COFs) of CuSn–xHEA coatings are decreased with the increase of HEA mass fraction due to the lubrication effect; while the wear rates are first increased and then decreased, showing that the appropriate HEA amount plays the role of wear resistance. The wear mechanism is mainly changed from abrasive wear and plastic deformation to adhesive wear, which is attributed to the improvement of coating hardness by the addition of HEA.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
