Effect of heat treatment on the tribological properties of laser-cladded VTiNbCrFeSi0.2 refractory high-entropy alloy coating
In this paper, VTiNbCrFeSi0.2 HEA coating was prepared by laser cladding technology and the prepared coating was annealed at 1200 °C for 5 h. The effects of the heat treatment on the phase composition, microstructure, and wear resistance of the coating were investigated. The results show that the VTiNbCrFeSi0.2 coating consists of the BCC phase, Fe2Nb-type Laves phase, and dendritic NbTi4 phase. After annealing for 5 h, the content of the BCC phase increases while the Fe2Nb-type Laves phase content decreases. Additionally, the lattice distortion in the coating is reduced after annealing. The hardness of the coating before and after annealing shows a significant improvement compared to the substrate. The average microhardness of the coating before annealing is 790 HV, nearly 3.13 times higher than that of the substrate, and after annealing, the average microhardness of the coating is 409 HV, about 1.64 times higher than that of the substrate. The coating's wear mechanism before annealing is abrasive wear. In contrast, after annealing, the lattice distortion in the coating is weakened, which leads to reduced residual stress in the coating and decreased content of the Laves brittle hard phase, which reduces the cutting of hard abrasive particles and wear debris on the coating during the wear process, resulting in the decrease of friction coefficient, which reasons make the wear resistance of the coating after annealing higher than that before annealing, and the coating after annealing shows a composite wear mechanism of adhesive wear and a small amount of abrasive wear. The results show that heat treatment has a significant effect on the microstructure and properties of the coating, which provides a theoretical basis for the application of the refractory high entropy alloy in high temperature environment.
