Tailoring the tribo-corrosion response of (CrNbTiAlV)CxNy coatings by controlling carbon content

Dewen Niu et al.

Summary: High-entropy carbonitrides have excellent properties in friction and corrosion. The tribo-corrosion response of (CrNbTiAlV)CxNy coating was studied in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The doping of carbon makes the coating structure dense. The coating with 40% carbon content has the best performance in terms of hardness, friction coefficient, and wear volume loss, effectively protecting the substrate in tribo-corrosion conditions.

Crystallization kinetics of Hf28Be18Ti17Zr17Cu7.5Ni12.5 high-entropy bulk metallic glass

Xiang Li et al.

Summary: The crystallization kinetics of Hf28Be18Ti17Zr17Cu7.5Ni12.5 high-entropy bulk metallic glass (HE-BMG) were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under non-isothermal and isothermal conditions. Three crystallization processes were observed in non-isothermal conditions, with the activation energies of peak crystallization temperatures determined. The dependence of local activation energy on crystallized volume fraction was analyzed using the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) method. The mathematical description of non-isothermal crystallization reaction was achieved using the Sestak-Berggren model. Under isothermal conditions, the incubation time and crystallization time decreased while the crystallization peak increased with increasing annealing temperature. The Avrami indices were all less than 2.5, indicating diffusion-controlled three-dimensional growth with decreasing nucleation rate in the crystallization of the glassy alloy.

Graceful behavior during CMAS corrosion of a high-entropy rare-earth zirconate for thermal barrier coating material

Tian-Zhe Tu et al.

Summary: The study reveals that HEZ ceramics show a graceful behavior to CMAS corrosion, much better than LZ ceramics. HEZ only suffered from dissolution and re-precipitation due to CMAS corrosion, while additional grain boundary corrosion existed in the LZ system. The fine-grained structure of the precipitated high-entropy apatite resulted in a reaction layer without cracks. Therefore, HEZ is a promising candidate for TBCs with extreme resistance to CMAS corrosion.

Effects of the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio on the microstructure and properties of (CrNbSiTiZr)CxNy high-entropy carbonitride films

Ching-Yin Lee et al.

Summary: In this study, (CrNbSiTiZr)CxNy films were deposited on various substrates via radio frequency magnetron sputtering and their properties were investigated. The film with a carbon content of 71 at% showed the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate, while increasing nitrogen content led to higher hardness values, oxidation resistances, friction coefficients, and wear rates. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated a shift in diffraction peaks with increased nitrogen content, suggesting an increase in the crystalline nitride phase.

Summary: Textured high-entropy boride ceramics were successfully fabricated for the first time using spark plasma sintering, with nearly single phase formation. The c-axis of boride grains aligned parallel to the SPS pressing direction, with grains growing along the a,b-axis to form platelet-like morphology. The ceramics exhibited a remarkably high Vickers' hardness and improved fracture toughness on the surface perpendicular to the SPS pressing direction due to oriented elongated grains.

Production and Properties of High Entropy Carbide Based Hardmetals

Johannes Poetschke et al.

Summary: Dense, high-entropy carbide cobalt-bonded hardmetals with two different compositions were successfully manufactured by gas pressure sintering. The presence of some undissolved TaC and HfO2 in one of the compositions led to a reduced hardness to fracture toughness ratio. Measurements of magnetic saturation polarization showed marginal dissolution of the carbide-forming metal elements in the binder phase.
