Microstructure and Wear Resistance of FeCoNiCu Medium-Entropy Alloys and AlFeCoNiCu High-Entropy Alloys Coating Produced by Electro-deposition
Ahmed Saleh AlGraite, Abdul-Raheem Kadhum Abid Ali
Abstract
Increasing utilization of high entropy alloys (HEAs) in different engineering applications, especially in the
automotive industry because of their unique properties as they combine two contradictory properties,
namely, high ductility and high strength had led to the need for deep knowledge about the manufacture
and properties of those alloys. In this study, microstructure, hardness, adhesion, and wear resistance of
low alloy steel AISI (4140) by electro-deposition of medium and high entropy alloys thin films were
study.All of the elements were completely co-depositing, according to the energy dispersive
spectrometry examination (EDS). The film made up of compact and homogenous particles, according to
field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) investigation. In comparison to medium entropy
alloys (MEA) coatings, as-deposited HEA coatings had a granular morphology that grew finer and more
compact. The existence of a combination of BCC and FCC phases, with a proportion of the FCC phase,
discovered during structural characterization. In comparison with MEAs sample coated, HEA deposit has
higher in both wear resistance and adhesion strength.
