[0038] Example 1

[0039] Example 1 provides a carbon steel composite material comprising a carbon steel substrate and a high-entropy alloy coating disposed on the surface of the carbon steel substrate; the high-entropy alloy coating comprises the following elements: iron, cobalt, chromium, nickel, copper, and boron. The molar amounts of each element are shown in Table 1. The preparation method is as follows:

[0040] S1. Weigh the powders according to the molar ratio using an electronic scale, and place the mixed powders in a DECO-PBM-V-0.4L ball mill for 4 h at a speed of 600 r / min. Then, dry the mixed powders at a constant temperature of 60°C for 4 h.

[0055] This comparative example provides a carbon steel composite material, the molar amounts of the elements and the preparation method thereof are the same as those in Example 1, except that the comparative example 1 does not contain the boron element.

[0056] Performance Testing

[0057] The high entropy alloy coatings of the carbon steel composite materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3 were subjected to XRD testing, and the results are shown in Figure 1. The coatings are mainly composed of FCC-type solid solutions. By selecting the strongest characteristic peak (111) crystal plane family in the spectrum for analysis, as the boron element increases, the intensity of the characteristic peak gradually decreases, and the peak gradually shifts to the left, the FWHM value increases, and the grain size of the coating decreases. In the coatings in Examples 2 and 3, XRD detected the precipitation of Cr2B, and its PDF card is: ICDD 01-089-4876. Cr2B has high hardness and strength, and Cr2B has a high melting point and thermal stability. These properties help the coating improve its tribological properties. In Example 1, due to the low boron content, the detection accuracy of XRD could not be detected.

[0058] Furthermore, SEM examination of the carbon steel composite materials prepared in Examples 1-3 was performed. The results are shown in Figure 2 (a, b, and c are microstructure images of Examples 1, 2, and 3, respectively). The boron element precipitates along the grain boundaries to form Cr2B, forming a network-like distribution and reducing the grain size. A portion of the boron element acts as a solute, forming a solid solution with other metal elements, resulting in lattice distortion. The evolution of the microstructure after the introduction of boron element indicates that its addition results in grain refinement, dispersion strengthening, and lattice distortion.

[0059] Furthermore, the hardness test of the carbon steel composite materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3 was carried out, and the results are shown in FIG3 . As can be seen from FIG3 , the average microhardness of the carbon steel composite materials B1, B3, and B5 are 236.53 HV 0.5 、266.29HV 0.5 and 343.98HV 0.5 , about Q235 ordinary carbon steel matrix (175.6HV 0.5 ) by 1.34 to 1.96 times. The coating hardness is improved to varying degrees, which can be attributed to the following three aspects: First, grain refinement. Element B can lower the phase transition temperature, which is beneficial for low-temperature rapid sintering, thereby reducing the grain size of the high-entropy alloy and increasing the density of grain boundaries and dislocation slip resistance. Second, dispersion strengthening. Borides precipitated after adding element B have high hardness and high melting point. As dispersion-strengthened precipitation phases, they can improve the wear resistance and creep resistance of the metal. In addition, their network distribution can hinder the movement of dislocations, thereby increasing the hardness and strength of the metal. Third, lattice distortion. Since the atomic radius of element B is much smaller than that of the other five metal elements, when it forms a solid solution as a solute, it will cause lattice distortion, increase the difficulty of dislocation slip, and improve the yield strength and tensile strength of the coating.

[0060] Furthermore, the surface energy of the coating was measured by the Owens two-liquid method using a JGW-360B contact angle meter, with deionized water and n-hexadecane (C 16 H 34 ) two liquids, and their properties are listed in Table 2. The test results of the contact angle and surface energy of Q235 ordinary carbon steel and B1, B3, and B5 carbon steel composites are shown in Figure 4. The contact angles of the three high-entropy alloy coatings are all greater than those of Q235 ordinary carbon steel, and the surface energies are all less than those of Q235 ordinary carbon steel. The periodic lattice structure of a solid is the lowest energy stable state formed spontaneously, and the surface of the material is equivalent to a two-dimensional defect, resulting in it having higher energy than the interior of the material. Therefore, the surface layer of low-surface-energy materials tends to reach an internal stable state. Studies have reported that lower surface energy can reduce the occurrence of adhesion. Since the friction process occurs on the surface of the material, the tribological properties of the material are improved.

[0061] Table 2 Surface energy determination liquid properties

[0062] Furthermore, to test the tribological properties of the carbon steel composite materials prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, the present application used a ball-on-disc high-temperature friction and wear tester (HT-1000) to conduct tribological performance tests. The test parameters are shown in Table 3. The resulting friction factor curve is shown in Figure 5, where a is the friction factor at room temperature and b is the friction factor at 600°C. Detailed friction factor data are shown in Table 4. At room temperature, compared to Q235 ordinary carbon steel, although Comparative Example 1 has some friction reduction performance, it is not significant. However, the addition of element B has a significant friction reduction effect. The B5 coating, which has a significant friction reduction effect, has a friction coefficient reduced by 46.89% compared to Q235 ordinary carbon steel. When element B is present in the alloy, it can form a lubricating film on the surface of the alloy, which can reduce friction and wear between metal surfaces. This self-lubricating property is due to the good lubricity of the compound or oxide formed by element B and the metal surface, which can effectively reduce the friction coefficient. Furthermore, the three strengthening mechanisms introduced by the addition of element B significantly increase the coating's hardness. This increased hardness results in a smoother surface with less surface roughness, which reduces the contact area during friction, reducing the likelihood of adhesion and lowering the relative sliding resistance between the friction pairs. At 600°C, the friction coefficient curve is more stable than at room temperature. This is due to the intensified oxidation reaction, which leads to the rapid and extensive formation of a lubricating oxide film. This not only reduces the friction coefficient but also slows wear. The friction factors of the coating containing element B are lower than those of Comparative Example 1.

[0063] Table 3 Friction and wear parameters

[0064] Table 4 Average friction coefficients of Q235 ordinary carbon steel and three high entropy alloy coatings

[0065] The wear surface profile and wear volume of the carbon steel composite materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were measured using an M-500 probe wear scar measuring instrument. The wear rate values ​​calculated by the formula are shown in Table 5, and the comparison diagram is shown in Figure 6 ( Where W is the wear rate (mm 3 / N·m), F is the load (N), d is the sliding distance (m), and V is the wear volume (mm 3)), a is the wear rate at room temperature, and b is the wear rate at 600°C. The test results show that with the increase of the B element content, the wear resistance of the coating is significantly improved. The change in the wear resistance of the high-entropy alloy coating is closely related to the evolution of the microstructure. The precipitated boride plays an important role in the microstructure. First, it improves the microstructure of the alloy. Secondly, the boride precipitated at the grain boundary not only has a high hardness itself, but also effectively hinders the movement of dislocations, thereby improving the strength and hardness of the alloy. The addition of element B significantly improves the wear resistance of the high-entropy alloy coating.

[0066] Table 5 Wear rate of substrate and composite coating (×10 -5 mm 3 / N·m)

[0067] At room temperature, the wear surface morphologies of Q235 ordinary carbon steel and the carbon steel composite materials of Examples 1 to 3 are shown in Figure 7 ((a1 to a3) are Q235 ordinary carbon steel; (b1 to b3) are B1; (c1 to c3) are B3; (d1 to d3) are B5). The wear surface of Q235 ordinary carbon steel has a large amount of morphology formed by the peeling of coating surface materials after cold welding. The dark area is the oxide film, and the white fine powdery debris is mainly caused by oxidation wear and fatigue wear. Small scratches caused by micro-cutting can also be observed. The wear mechanism at room temperature is relatively complex, and the characteristics of multiple wear mechanisms appear. There is a small-sized oxide film and blocky wear debris on the wear surface of the B1 coating. In the area where there is no oxide film, there are obvious plowing grooves and fine scratches caused by micro-cutting. This is the wear morphology caused by the abrasive wear mechanism. There are a large number of cracks on the wear scar surface. When the material is subjected to cyclic loads or stresses, cracks form and expand on the surface or subsurface, leading to material spalling and the generation of abrasive particles. These cracks will expand with the increase in the number of cycles, eventually leading to material damage and wear. It can be inferred that the B1 coating has a certain degree of fatigue wear. Therefore, the main wear mechanism of the B1 coating is abrasive wear and fatigue wear. There is material spalling caused by adhesive wear on the wear scar of the B3 coating, and the oxide film has undergone layered spalling. There are scratches caused by cutting on the unflaked oxide film. That is, the main wear mechanism of the B3 coating is adhesive wear and slight abrasive wear. The wear scar width of the B5 coating is the smallest, and there is a discontinuous oxide film on the wear scar surface. The EDS results show that it is consistent with the B3 coating, and the B element content in the oxide film is enriched. The Gibbs free energy of the most stable oxides of Fe, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu, and B at room temperature is as follows: Fe2O3 (-742.5 kJ / mol), Co3O4 (-784.2 kJ / mol), Cr2O3 (-1041.0 kJ / mol), Ni3O4 (-763.6 kJ / mol), CuO (-129.7 kJ / mol), and B2O3 (-833 kJ / mol). Cr2O3 has the lowest Gibbs free energy, indicating that it is the most stable oxide, followed by B2O3. Cr2O3 and B2O3 can form oxide films with low friction coefficients during friction. Both Cr2O3 and B2O3 are high-temperature solid lubricants. Through thermal reaction or mechanical mixing at the friction interface, they can form composite oxide films with metals or other oxides. These films have a low friction coefficient, excellent wear resistance, and can effectively reduce the generation and conduction of frictional heat, thereby achieving a self-lubricating effect. The B5 coating also exhibits cracks in characteristic areas due to cyclic loads or stresses, and micro-cutting caused by abrasive particles. The main wear mechanisms of the B5 coating are slight abrasive wear and fatigue wear.

[0068] Figure 8 shows the wear morphologies of the grinding balls of Q235 plain carbon steel and the carbon steel composites of Examples 1-3 at room temperature ((a) Q235 plain carbon steel; (b) B1; (c) B3; (d) B5). As the molar ratio of element B increases, the wear area of ​​the grinding balls decreases significantly, indicating improved wear resistance. A large amount of material migrated from the B1 coating adheres to the grinding balls corresponding to the B1 coating. This material migration is significantly reduced in the B3 and B5 coatings, resulting in less coating material on the grinding balls. The B3 and B5 coatings are more stable during friction and exhibit less wear on the grinding balls. This is attributed to the precipitation of boride in the microstructure of the B3 and B5 coatings, which makes it difficult for the grinding balls to press into the coatings. This reduces the contact area between the friction pairs, resulting in less material sheared and exfoliated due to shear forces, and thus improves the overall wear resistance of the friction pairs. The addition of element B effectively inhibits adhesive wear, reduces the friction coefficient, enhances the overall wear resistance and friction reduction properties of the friction pairs, and extends the overall service life of the friction pairs.

[0069] Figure 9 shows the worn surface morphologies of Q235 plain carbon steel and the carbon steel composites of Examples 1-3 at 600°C ((a1 to a3) Q235 plain carbon steel; (b1 to b3) B1; (c1 to c3) B3; (d1 to d3) B5)). The results in the figure show that, compared to the wear morphology at room temperature, the wear scar surface is covered by a thicker oxide film. The wear scar surface is essentially covered by oxide. The worn surface of Q235 plain carbon steel is covered by a continuous, large-area oxide film. However, due to thermal expansion and internal stress, cracks appear on the oxide film surface, and the wear scar surface has distinct furrows. This is caused by the cutting action of hard abrasive particles formed by the shedding of oxide particles from the coating during wear, which then move across the coating surface and are subsequently filled with fine oxide debris. The main wear mechanisms are abrasive wear, adhesive wear, and oxidative wear. The B1 coating exhibits fine white debris scattered across its smooth oxide film, a result of oxidative wear. Small scratches are observed in characteristic areas. At the initial stage of friction, the various elements in the B1 coating spontaneously undergo oxidation reactions at high temperatures to form an oxide film. Under the crushing action of the grinding balls, the lower-hardness oxides are first broken and ground to powder by the grinding balls, while the other hard oxides participate in the friction process, causing three-body abrasive wear and resulting in small scratches on the oxide film. The primary wear mechanisms of the B1 coating are oxidative wear and abrasive wear. The wear morphology of the B3 coating is strikingly different from that of B1. The worn surface remains fully covered by the oxide film, but the area of ​​the broken oxide film is significantly larger, and the amount of powdered debris increases significantly. Severe cracks are present at the edges of the oxide film, which flakes off to form flaky fragments, while microcutting is significantly slowed. At the beginning of wear, the B3 coating's hardness increases due to the addition of element B, but this also leads to increased brittleness and reduced fatigue strength, making it more susceptible to brittle peeling. When the friction pair continues to slide relative to each other, the cyclic stress generated in the contact area exceeds the fatigue strength of the material, and cracks appear on the surface. The cracks then gradually expand, and then continue to crack and peel, forming flaky wear debris. The wear mechanism of the B3 coating changes from that of the B1 coating to oxidation wear and fatigue wear. The wear scar surface of the B5 coating is covered by a smooth and dense oxide film, and the fragmentation of the oxide film and the fine wear scars are significantly alleviated. Although the addition of element B can lead to a decrease in fatigue strength, the B content in the oxide film also increases significantly with the increase in the molar ratio of element B. The Gibbs free energy of the most stable oxides of Fe, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu and B elements at 600°C are: Fe2O3 (-1177.9 kJ / mol), Co3O4 (-1209.8 kJ / mol), Cr2O3 (-1568.0 kJ / mol), Ni3O4 (-1188.4 kJ / mol), CuO (-426.6 kJ / mol), and B2O3 (-1960.0 kJ / mol).B2O3 has the lowest Gibbs free energy, indicating that it is the most stable oxide and can be used as a high-temperature lubricant. The melting point of B2O3 is 510°C. At 600°C, B2O3 melts into a low-viscosity liquid, forming a lubricating film that isolates the contact surfaces and reduces direct contact and adhesion. The B2O3 liquid film has high fluidity and self-repairing ability, and can adjust to changes in the friction surface to maintain lubrication. It can also absorb and transfer some frictional heat, reducing the temperature of the friction surface and delaying the onset of oxidation and thermal fatigue. Therefore, the B5 coating's oxidation wear and fatigue wear are significantly suppressed at 600°C, and its main wear mechanisms are mild abrasive wear and fatigue wear.

[0070] Figure 10 shows the surface morphologies of the wear surfaces of Q235 plain carbon steel and the carbon steel composites of Examples 1-3 at 600°C ((a) Q235 plain carbon steel; (b) B1; (c) B3; (d) B5). Compared to room temperature, the wear area of ​​the grinding balls increases significantly, but also decreases with increasing molar ratio of the element B. From the perspective of material migration, the wear surface of the grinding balls corresponding to the B1 coating is likely covered by material migrating from the B1 coating, indicating significant adhesion between the B1 coating and the grinding balls. However, the wear morphology of the coating after wear is relatively smooth, lacking obvious signs of adhesive wear. This is because the oxide film formed is relatively thin in the initial wear phase, making it difficult to provide friction reduction and wear resistance. However, at 600°C, the coating softens at high temperatures and is more susceptible to adhesive wear. As the friction test progresses, the oxidation rate increases, gradually forming a stable friction layer composed of a dense oxide film. As the molar ratio of element B increases, its hardness increases. Furthermore, the friction pair, isolated by the liquid B2O3 high-temperature lubricant, reduces direct contact, effectively suppressing adhesion. This is reflected in a decrease in the area of ​​the wear surface of the corresponding grinding balls in the B3 and B5 coatings covered by the migrated material from the coating. Element B can effectively improve the friction compatibility of the friction pair.

Other embodiments can be obtained based on this embodiment without creativity, and these embodiments all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
