Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of ion plating preparation, and particularly relates to a titanium alloy surface ion-plated high-entropy alloy wear-resistant coating and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] High-entropy alloy is a new type of alloy material obtained by introducing "chemical disorder" through multi-principal element mixing in recent years, which has triggered a research boom in the field of materials. High-entropy alloy is a new alloy system formed by five or more than five elements (usually metals) as main components. High-entropy alloy has excellent performance, such as high strength / hardness, high toughness, high wear resistance, high corrosion resistance and high temperature oxidation resistance.

[0003] At present, the preparation and research of high-entropy alloy mainly focuses on bulk structure materials. On the one hand, the industrial use cost of high-entropy alloy material is relatively high due to the large number of components. On the other hand, the processing and forming of high-entropy alloy material are difficult due to its high hardness and strength. Therefore, the application of high-entropy alloy is greatly limited, especially for some complex structural parts. Therefore, the preparation of high-entropy alloy into a coating will be another important application of high-entropy alloy material, which can not only save material cost, but also maintain the original high strength, high hardness and high wear resistance of high-entropy alloy material.

[0004] At present, there are three technologies commonly used to produce high-entropy alloy coating: magnetron sputtering, cold / hot spraying and laser cladding. Among them, magnetron sputtering is mainly used for small thickness coating structure (<30 μm). Although this method is suitable for producing uniform and dense high-entropy alloy coating, the low deposition rate and insufficient bonding force make this method unable to meet the industrial application of high-entropy alloy coating. SUMMARY
