Vacuum plasma sprayed AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy bond Coating: Vacuum heat-treatment, microstructure evolution and oxidation behavior analysis
The AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) bond coating is fabricated using vacuum plasma spray (VPS) technology, followed by a vacuum heat treatment (VHT) at 1050 °C for 5 h. This study rigorously investigates the effects of the VHT process on the microstructural evolution and oxidation resistance of the AlCoCrFeNi coating. The experimental findings indicate that both the as-sprayed and heat-treated coatings develop thermally grown oxide (TGO) layers predominantly composed of α-Al2O3 under oxidation conditions up to 1000 °C. Notably, the VHT-treated coating exhibits enhanced oxidation resistance, showing a 12.3 % reduction in TGO layer thickness after 50 h of oxidation at 1000 °C, compared to its untreated counterpart. This improvement is attributed to the microstructural changes during VHT, including grain coarsening and a decrease in grain boundary density, which collectively reduce the diffusion of Al ions outward. Additionally, phase analysis demonstrates that the AlCoCrFeNi coating transitions from an initial BCC structure to a BCC + FCC + σ-phase following vacuum heat treatment. The emergence of the FCC phase leads to a 23 % reduction in coating hardness (from 506.1 HV to 388.8 HV), which aids in stress relaxation at the TGO/coating interface and reduces the likelihood of crack initiation. Overall, this research, which offers a simple and effective method for enhancing the oxidation resistance of high entropy alloys.
