Effect of Vanadium Addition on the Wear Resistance of Al0.7CoCrFeNi High-Entropy Alloy.
High-entropy alloys are of interest to many researchers due to the possibility of shaping their functional properties by, among other things, the use of alloying additives. One approach to improving the wear resistance of the AlCoCrFeNi alloy is modification through the addition of titanium. However, in this study, an alternative solution was explored by adding vanadium, which has a completely different effect on the material's structure compared to titanium. The effect of vanadium additives on changes in the microstructure, hardness, and wear resistance of the Al0.7CoCrFeNi alloy. The base alloys Al0.7CoCrFeNi and Al0.7CoCrFeNiV0.5 were obtained by induction melting. The results showed that the presence of vanadium changes the microstructure of the material. In the case of the base alloy, the structure is biphasic with a visible segregation of alloying elements between phases. In contrast, the Al0.7CoCrFeNiV0.5 alloy has a homogeneous solid solution bcc structure. The presence of vanadium increased hardness by 33%, while it significantly reduced friction wear by 73%. Microscopic observations of friction marks indicate differences in the wear mechanisms of the two materials.
期刊介绍:
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
