摘要

The present study examined the effects of Nb addition on phase composition, microstructure, microhardness, friction-wear characteristics, and corrosion resistance in FeCoNiCuAl high-entropy alloy coatings. A series of FeCoNiCuAlNbx coatings (x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0) were prepared on 65Mn substrates by laser cladding with powder bed deposition. The samples were characterized using XRD, metallographic microscopy, Vickers hardness measurements, wear testing under sliding conditions, and electrochemical techniques. Results indicated that the Nb-free FeCoNiCuAl coating exhibited a single FCC phase structure. As Nb content increased, both FCC and Laves phases appeared. The microstructure became fine rand denser with higher Nb content. The microhardness of the FeCoNiCuAlNb1.5 coating reached 615.74 HV0.2. Electrochemical tests in NS4 solution revealed an increase inself-corrosion potential from − 0.471 V for FeCoNiCuAl to − 0.194 V for FeCoNiCuAlNb2.0, while the self-corrosion current density decreased from 1.039 × 10−5 to 3.239 × 10−6 A/cm2. In summary, Nb addition promoted the phase transition from FCC to Laves and enhanced microhardness and wear resistance.
