Abstract

A novel cemented carbide composite coating was developed using high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying with an agglomerated and sintered WC-20 wt.% CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) powder. The coating exhibited a complex microstructure of WC, W₂C, W, Cr₂O₃, spinel oxide, and two FCC phases. CALPHAD simulations provided insights into phase stability but were not fully accurate due to decarburization during deposition. Nano- and micro-indentation revealed hardness variability between the carbide-rich and FCC phases, attributed to decarburization and dissolution mechanisms. The WC-20CoCrFeNi coating demonstrated superior hardness and wear resistance compared to HEAs but did not exceed those of conventional cemented carbide thermal spray coatings. Electrochemical testing revealed enhanced seawater corrosion resistance for the WC-20CoCrFeNi coating than both HEAs and conventional cemented carbides. This study highlights the potential of HEAs as binder materials in cemented carbides processed via agglomeration and sintering, offering a promising balance of properties for engineering applications.

期刊介绍： Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
