Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an FeCrAl-based gradient nano-multilayered structure high-entropy alloy coating and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the fields of coating materials and surface science and technology. Background Art

[0002] In 2004, scholar Ye Junwei proposed a brand-new alloy design mode, pioneering a new research field of metallic materials - multi-component high-entropy alloys. This design mode breaks the design concept of traditional alloys. By using multiple main elements as basic components and mixing these components in an equal proportion or nearly equal proportion, a single-phase solid solution is expected to be formed under the action of high mixing configurational entropy. High-entropy alloys have four major effects, namely high-entropy effect, lattice distortion effect, sluggish diffusion effect, and cocktail effect. Their structures and properties are different from those of traditional alloys in many aspects. High-entropy alloys have excellent mechanical properties, friction and wear properties, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., and have become one of the new materials with the most development potential in the future.

[0003] With the in-depth research, the design concept of high-entropy alloys has gradually evolved from the initial goal of obtaining a single-phase solid solution through equiatomic ratios to an alloy system with non-equiatomic ratios and coexistence of multiple phases. At present, the preparation and research of high-entropy alloys mainly focus on bulk-structured materials. However, high-entropy alloy materials have more components, and the industrial use cost of their bulk-structured materials is relatively high. In addition, high-entropy alloy materials have high hardness and strength, and their processing and forming are relatively difficult. Therefore, the application of high-entropy alloys is greatly restricted, especially for some components with complex structures. Preparing high-entropy alloys into coatings is expected to solve the above problems, which can not only save material costs but also maintain the excellent properties of high-entropy alloy materials such as high strength, high hardness, and high wear resistance, thereby expanding the application scope of high-entropy alloys.

[0004] Currently, there are three commonly used techniques for preparing high-entropy alloy coatings: magnetron sputtering, cold / hot spraying, and laser cladding. For coating structures with a small thickness (<30μm), magnetron sputtering technology is mainly used. Although this method is very suitable for preparing high-entropy alloy coatings with uniform and dense structures, the problems of low deposition rate and insufficient bonding force also make this method unable to meet the requirements of industrial applications of high-entropy alloy coatings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides an FeCrAl-based gradient nano-multilayered structure high-entropy alloy coating and a preparation method thereof, aiming to prepare a novel Cr / Al x1 Cr y1 / (Fe x2 Cr y2 Al z2 / Fex3 Cr y3 Al z3 Ti k3 Si r3 Y p3 ) n Coating

Step 6: Turn on the pulsed sputtering power supply of the AlCr target, set the sputtering current to 30 - 70 A, set the substrate bias voltage to -200~-400 V, control the sputtering time for 1 - 10 min, prepare the AlCr film on the Cr film, and turn off the power supply after completion. Step 7: Turn on the DC sputtering power supplies of the FeCrAl target and the FeCrAlTiSiY target, set the sputtering powers to 50 - 100 W respectively, control their respective sputtering times to be 1 - 10 min respectively, alternately deposit a single-layer FeCrAl film and a single-layer FeCrAlTiSiY film on the Cr / Al-Cr film, control the total sputtering time to be 2 - 3 hours, and form a multi-layer structure of the FeCrAl / FeCrAlTiSiY composite film. Step 8: Turn off the sputtering and heating power supplies. Cool down the temperature to below 100 °C under the condition of pumping vacuum by the molecular pump. Turn off the molecular pump and the power supply. Cool it down to room temperature under natural vacuum, and then take out the sample, thus forming a FeCrAl-based gradient nanomultilayered structure high-entropy alloy coating Cr / AlCr / (FeCrAl / FeCrAlTiSiY) on the substrate n .
