Structural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of FeCoNiAlTi HEA Coatings Fabricated by Plasma Surfacing by WANG Yonghong, ZHANG Chunlin, ZHANG Shihan, YU Jianping, LIU Yingfu, JIE Zhiwen

“…In order to deeply study the influence of the surfacing current on the microstructure and mechanical properties of FeCoNiAlTi highentropy alloy coatings in the plasma surfacing process parameters， five different surfacing currents (140， 160， 180， 200， 220 A) were used for coating preparation， and the microstructure， hardness， wear resistance and tensile properties of the coatings were evaluated by XRD， OM，SEM， micro-Vickers hardness tester， profilometer， friction wear tester and universal testing machine， respectively.Results showed that the porosity and elemental segregation of the coating were significantly improved with the increase of the surfacing current，but there was no significant effect on the coating phase composition.The coating mainly consisted of the typical FCC solid solution phase and Co3 Ti precipitation phase.When the surfacing current was 180 A， the surface microhardness of the obtained T3 coating was up to 322.77 HV0.2， which was about twice that of the substrate.At the same time， the T3 coating showed the best wear resistance， with a maximum wear depth of only 2.144 μm， an average friction coefficient of 0.362 and the lowest wear rate of 3.83×10－6 mm3/(N·m).In addition， the tensile strength and elongation of the T3 coating were 948 MPa and 26.61%， respectively， showing excellent strength and toughness.…”

One-Step Electrochemical Preparation of Super-Hydrophobic Aluminum Surface and the Anti-Corrosion Performance by LI Li-ping, ZHOU Ji-cheng, LIU Yuan-wei, CHEN Yu

“…The super-hydrophobic modification of metal materials surface can significantly improve their corrosion resistance.The super-hydrophobic aluminum surface was fabricated with chemical etching and electrochemical anodization.Super-hydrophobic structure was constructed on aluminum surface by one-step method.The effect of HCl concentration and anodization time on the surface micro-structure and composition of aluminum electrode was investigated.The hydrophobic properties of aluminum surface were characterized by contact angle tester.The microstructure and chemical composition of aluminum surface were observed by SEM and EDS.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)and electrochemical noise(EN)technique were employed to evaluated the anti-corrosion performance of modified aluminum electrode in 3.5% NaCl solution.Results indicated that a super-hydrophobic aluminum surface was prepared on the pure aluminum under 2 V voltage and 20 min anodization time in 0.015 mol/L HCl solution, with the contact angle(CA)and sliding angle(SA)were 155.8° and 3.1°, respectively.EIS measurements revealed that the charge transfer resistance increased from 121 Ω·cm2 to 1 941 Ω·cm2 and the protection efficiency of super-hydrophobic aluminum surface was as high as 93.8%.EN results showed that the super-hydrophobic modification of the aluminum electrode could remarkably reduce its localized corrosion strength in 3.5% NaCl solution.…”
