Synthesis and Characterization of High-Entropy Alloy AlXFeCoNiCuCr by Laser Cladding

الملخص EN

High-entropy alloys have been recently found to have novel microstructures and unique properties.

In this study, a novel AlXFeCoNiCuCr high-entropy alloy was prepared by laser cladding.

The microstructure, chemical composition, and constituent phases of the synthesized alloy were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD, and TEM, respectively.

High-temperature hardness was also evaluated.

Experimental results demonstrate that the AlXFeCoNiCuCr clad layer is composed of only BCC and FCC phases.

The clad layers exhibit higher hardness at higher Al atomic content.

The AlFeCoNiCuCr clad layer exhibits increased hardness at temperature between 400–700°C.
