Abstract
Fe–Co–Ni face-centered cubic (FCC) alloy has been one of the most extensively investigated alloys due to its potential ductility and toughness, while its low yield strength and wear resistance limit the engineering application. In this study, the different Mo content is added in the Fe–Co–Ni based alloy to solve this problem. The microstructure, wear resistance and tribological mechanism of Fe60-xCo20MoxNi20 (x = 10, 15, 20) high-entropy alloys after different annealing treatments are systematically investigated. The results reveal that the content of the μ phase increases with the addition of Mo element when annealed at 600 °C, and the highest amount of the μ phase is observed in the Mo20 alloy. The formation of the μ phase enhances the hardness of the Mo20 alloy, reduces the surface roughness during the wear process compared to Mo10 and Mo15 alloys, thereby improving the wear resistance. Furthermore, increasing annealing temperature also affects the content and distribution of the μ phase. The Mo20 alloy annealed at 600 °C exhibits the best wear resistance. However, as the annealing temperature increases to 1000 °C, the wear resistance deteriorates due to the spalling of the μ phase. In contrast, the wear resistance of the Mo15 alloy is optimized due to the uniform distribution of the μ phase. Additionally, when the sliding force increases from 2 N to 10 N, the wear resistance of the Mo20 alloy initially deteriorates before improves. This is mainly due to the increase in abrasive wear when the load is increased from 2 N to 5 N, while as the sliding force further increases to 10 N, a glaze layer is formed on the wear surface, which produces a lubricating effect. Furthermore, the better wear resistance of Mo20 and Mo15 alloys compared with others can also be attributed to the friction subsurface with nano-scale structure.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
