Microstructure and Properties of AlCoCrFeNiMox High-Entropy Alloy Coating by High-Speed Laser Cladding
摘要
AlCoCrFeNiMox high-entropy alloys (HEA) coating was conducted on the surface of 45-steel substrates using high-speed laser cladding (HSLC) technology. This study investigated the influence of molybdenum (Mo) on the phase structure, microstructure, and properties of the coating. The results show that the coating has a small heat-affected zone and strong metallurgical bonding with the substrate. The AlCoCrFeNiMox HEA coating is composed of a single body-centered cubic (BCC) phase structure. The microstructure of the coating comprised columnar crystals and Mo refined the microstructure, changing from coarse to slender columnar crystals with increasing Mo content. When x = 0.8, the hardness of the coating is the highest, up to 860 HV, and the self-corrosion current density of the coating is the smallest, about 5.7452 × 10−7 A cm−2. The inclusion of Mo increases the coating’s oxidation resistance at high temperatures. The structural integrity of the coating may still be preserved after oxidation at 1200 °C for 90 h. When x = 0.8 to 1.0, the coating has a reduced oxidation rate, and the oxidation process follows the growth kinetics curve, and Al2O3 and Cr2O3 are the predominant oxides on the surface.
