Evaluation of Microhardness, Tribological Properties, and Corrosion Resistance of CrFeNiNbTi High-Entropy Alloy Coating Deposited by Laser Cladding
Source abstract
Abstract
The microstructure and properties of CrFeNiNbTi HEA coating on 40CrNiMoA steel synthesized by laser cladding were investigated. The CrFeNiNbTi HEA coating had a dendritic microstructure, whose volume ratio of dendrite (VRD) decreased linearly with the increasing distance from the surface. The refractory element Nb preferred to dissolve into the dendritic solid solution with FCC lattice structure, and Ti promoted the precipitation of the Laves phase Fe2Ti as a strengthening phase. The microhardness of the CrFeNiNbTi HEA coating can reach up to 685.23 HV0.3, which was approximately twice the microhardness of the substrate. The enhanced hardness was owing to solid solution strengthening and precipitated-phase strengthening. The hardness of micro-area test proved that the dendrites strengthened by the solid solution of Nb were harder than the interdendritic region, even though Fe2Ti with high hardness tended to be distributed in the interdendritic region. The wear mechanisms were abrasive wear, adhesive wear, and oxidative wear. The oxide film produced on the surface of the coating at the later stage of friction reduced the increment of wear mass loss, which significantly improved the wear resistance of the coating. The passive film formed on the surface of the CrFeNiNbTi HEA coating slowed the corrosion of the coating by Cl- in the solution, so the corrosion resistance of the coating was superior than that of 40CrNiMoA steel. In summary, the CrFeNiNbTi HEA coating had exceptional wear resistance and corrosion resistance using 40CrNiMoA steel substrate as reference.
