Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Microstructure and Properties of High Entropy Alloy Coatings”. Many coating methods can be used to improve the surface performance of alloys. The properties of coatings, such as mechanical properties and physical properties, strongly depend on their microstructure and fabrication methods. The scope of this Special Issue includes various coating techniques applied to high entropy alloys (HEAs), such as laser cladding, thermal spray coating, vapor deposition, plasma-transferred arc-cladding, and mechanical alloying. This Special Issue aims to present the recent developments in high entropy alloy coatings. Also, it focuses on the effects of oxide dispersoids on the properties of HEA coatings for elevated temperature applications.

In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • High entropy superalloy coatings;
  • Eutectic high entropy alloy coatings;
  • Refectory high entropy alloy coatings;
  • Lightweight high entropy alloy coatings.

Abstract
Eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) has an outstanding combination of high strength and excellent ductility due to its dual-phase structure. In this study, AlCoCrFeNi2.1 coatings on stainless steel substrates and bulk AlCoCrFeNi2.1 alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying (MA). The results show [...] Read more.
Eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) has an outstanding combination of high strength and excellent ductility due to its dual-phase structure. In this study, AlCoCrFeNi2.1 coatings on stainless steel substrates and bulk AlCoCrFeNi2.1 alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying (MA). The results show that EHEA coatings with a dual-phase microstructure of BCC-AlNi/FCC-CoCrFe were obtained. A long milling duration promotes a uniform microstructure and homogeneous distribution of composition in the EHEA coatings, increasing hardness. Furthermore, annealing treatment encourages the formation of Cr-rich phases and Al-rich oxides, which affect the mechanical properties of coatings and bulk materials. Additionally, the presence of oxide dispersoids can cause the embrittlement of materials due to the formation of Al-Y-O oxide pores, resulting in the degradation of the mechanical properties of materials.
