High temperature tribological performance of a cost-effective eutectic high entropy alloy Al0.8CrFeNi2.2: Comparison with AlCoCrFeNi2.1

Tri Dinh Vo et al.

Summary: A comparison study was conducted on the microstructure, mechanical properties and high temperature tribological performance of as-cast Al0.8CrFeNi2.2 and AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high entropy alloys. The cost-effective Al0.8CrFeNi2.2 exhibited higher hardness and tensile strength compared to AlCoCrFeNi2.1. While AlCoCrFeNi2.1 showed better friction and wear performance at room temperature, the opposite trend was observed at temperatures exceeding 300°C. The higher Ni content in FCC and BCC(B2) phases of Al0.8CrFeNi2.2 increased the hardness of constituent phases. The tribolayers of Al0.8CrFeNi2.2 at 900°C consisted of a distinct oxide layer and ultrafine-grained particle layer, which differed from the mixing pattern in AlCoCrFeNi2.1. A thicker tribolayer was also found to enhance the high temperature tribological properties of Al0.8CrFeNi2.2.

Boost in mechanical strength of additive manufactured CoCrFeMnNi HEA by reinforcement inclusion of B4C nano-particles

Soung Yeoul Ahn et al.

Summary: Reinforcement by composite fabrication has been studied to improve the strength of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). In this study, CoCrFeMnNi+B4C high-entropy composite (HEC) parts were fabricated using the direct energy deposition process. The presence of B4C nano-particles hindered grain growth and caused elemental segregation, leading to the formation of carbide-rich regions. The B4C nano-particles also promoted the pinning effect of dislocations and provided dispersion hardening, resulting in high mechanical strength of the CoCrFeMnNi+B4C HEC.

The effect of annealing on the microstructures and oxidation behaviors of AlCoCrFeNi complex concentrated alloys

Todd M. Butler et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the effects of annealing at 1050 degrees C in an inert atmosphere on the microstructures and high temperature oxidation behaviors of Alx(CoCrFeNi)1-x complex concentrated alloys. The annealing process stabilizes multi-phase microstructures consisting of BCC, B2, and/or FCC phases, with the final phase composition depending on the Al content in the alloy. The oxidation resistance of the alloys increases with increasing Al content, and the presence of Al-rich phases near the alloy surfaces enhances oxidation resistance by providing Al reservoirs for the formation of Al2O3.

Friction & wear characteristics of pitch & poly-acrylonitrile based carbon-carbon composites in air and nitrogen environment under aircraft taxi conditions

Akshat Sharma et al.

Summary: In this study, a disc brake test rig was developed to evaluate the friction and wear characteristics of pitch and poly-acrylonitrile based carbon-carbon composites under different aircraft taxi energy fluxes and temperatures. The results showed that temperature, humidity, energy flux, and composite type play a critical role in determining the coefficient of friction and wear regime. The experimental results were in good agreement with existing literature. Controlled tests using an external thermal chamber revealed that temperature and energy flux had a significant influence on friction and wear behavior, depending on the composite type and operating environment. Optical and scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated that different wear mechanisms occurred in air and nitrogen environments.
