Abstract

WVTaTiCrx (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) refractory high-entropy alloy coatings were prepared on a 42-CrMo steel plate using laser cladding. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of the Cr content on the microstructure and properties of the WVTaTiCrx coating. The morphologies and phase compositions of five coatings with different Cr contents were comparatively observed. In addition, the hardness and high-temperature oxidation resistance of the coatings were also analyzed. As a result, with the increase in Cr, the coating grains were more refined. All the coating is mainly composed of the BCC solid-solution phase, which promotes the precipitation of the Laves phase with the increase in Cr. The addition of Cr greatly improves the hardness, high-temperature oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating. The WVTaTiCr (Cr1) exhibited superior mechanical properties, especially in terms of its exceptional hardness, high-temperature oxidation resistance and outstanding corrosion resistance. The average hardness of the WVTaTiCr alloy coating reaches 627.36 HV. After 50 h of high-temperature oxidation, the oxide weight of WVTaTiCr increases by 5.12 mg/cm2, and the oxidation rate is 0.1 mg/(cm2·h). In 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the corrosion potential of WVTaTiCr is −0.3198 V, and the corrosion rate is 0.161 mm/a.
