Abstract

We analyzed the results obtained in a study of the elemental and phase compositions, as well as the defect substructure of a 5 μm thick film of a high-entropy alloy (HEA) of nonstoichiometric composition (18.4Al–23.6Ti–15.2Cu–23.6Zr–19.2Nb, at %). The HEA film was sputtered on a AISI 321 steel substrate and subjected to complex multicycle electron–ion–plasma saturation with boron. At the first stage of boriding, a 1 µm thick (Cr + B) film was deposited on the surface of the HEA specimens (QUINTA facility). At the second stage, the (Cr + B)-film/HEA-substrate system was irradiated with an intense pulsed electron beam (18 keV; 20, 30, and 40 J/cm2; 200 μs; 3 pulses, 0.3 s–1) on the SOLO facility at a 0.02 Pa residual gas (argon) pressure in the working chamber. The multicycle boriding consisted of triple repetition of the above procedure for producing the (Cr + B)-film/HEA-substrate system and irradiating it with a pulsed electron beam. The study has revealed that the modified HEA films had a multielement, multiphase, multilayer submicrometer-nanocrystalline structure. This structure showed high wear resistance due to the nanoparticles of boride released in the modified layer.
