Different-shaped ultrafine MoNbTaW high-entropy alloy powders were firstly prepared by a convenient mechanical alloying method. The phase composition and microstructure of the powders were characterized. The powders are ultrafine with nano-sized grains and a good homogeneous microstructure. All the powders have a single body-centered cubic solid solution phase and form the high-entropy alloy during mechanical alloying. These powders with different shapes are quite attractive for developing high-performance MoNbTaW high-entropy alloy bulk and coatings combined with a following sintering, spraying, or additive manufacturing technique.

Refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) is one of the most promising materials for use in high-temperature structural materials. In this study, the WMoNbTaV coatings on 304 stainless steel substrates has been prepared by mechanical alloying (MA). Effects of V addition and subsequent heat treatment on properties of the WMoNbTaV coatings were investigated. The results show that the RHEA coatings with nanocrystalline body-centered cubic (BCC) solid-solution phase were generated by the mechanical alloying process. The presence of the V element promotes a uniform microstructure and homogeneous distribution of composition in the RHEA coatings due to improving alloying efficiency, resulting in an increase of hardness. After the annealing treatment of the RHEA coatings, microstructure homogeneity was further enhanced; however, the high affinity of Ta for oxygen causes the formation of Ta-rich oxides. Annealing also removes strain hardening generated by high-energy ball milling and thus decreases the hardness of the RHEA coating and alters microstructure evolution and mechanical properties.

In this work, non-equiatomic W10Mo27Cr21Ti22Al20 refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) was produced using mechanical alloying followed by spark plasma sintering. The phase formation, microstructure, and compressive mechanical properties of the alloy were studied. During mechanical alloying, a Body-centered cubic (BCC) solid solution phase with a particle size of less than 1 µm was obtained after 18 h ball milling. The microstructure of the sintered sample exhibits three distinct phases consisting of two solid solution phases BCC1 and BCC2 as well as fine TiCxOy precipitates distributed in them. The volume fractions of each phase were about 79%, 8%, and 13%, respectively. The sintered W10Mo27Cr21Ti22Al20 showed yield strengths of 2465, 1506, 405, and 290 MPa at room temperature 600, 1000, and 1200°C, respectively, which are about twice that of the same refractory high-entropy alloy produced by vacuum arc melting. At 1000 and 1200°C, the strength after yielding gradually increased to 970 and 718 MPa at a compressive strain of 60%. The studied refractory high-entropy alloy can have good potential in high-temperature applications due to its high specific strength at elevated temperatures compared to conventional Ni-based superalloys and most as-reported refractory high-entropy alloys.

Refractory high entropy alloys are an interesting material class because of their high thermal stability, decent electrical conductivity, and promising mechanical properties at elevated temperature. In the present work, we report on the thermal stability of body-centered cubic MoNbTaVW solid solution thin films that were synthesized by cathodic arc deposition. After vacuum annealing up to 1600 °C, the morphology, chemical composition, crystal structure, and electrical conductivity, as well as the mechanical properties, were analyzed. The observed body-centered cubic MoNbTaVW solid solution phase is stable up to 1500 °C. The evolution of electrical and mechanical properties due to the annealing treatment is discussed based on the observed structural changes of the synthesized thin films.

The CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy coatings (HEACs) with different weight ratios (10 and 30 wt.%) of WC additions have been prepared using mechanical alloying and a vacuum hot pressing sintering technique on a Q235 steel substrate. The microstructures, microhardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of HEACs were studied. The CoCrFeNi(WC) powders were obtained by mixing the CoCrFeNi HEA powders and WC particles. The sintered products of both HEACs with high relative density contained one solid solution phase with face-centered cubic structure, WC, and unknown precipitate phases. The transition boundary had a good metallurgical bonding with the coating and substrate. The average microhardness values of CoCrFeNi HEACs with 10 and 30 wt.% WC additions reached 475 and 531 HV respectively, which were far higher than that of the substrate (160 HV). Moreover, both coatings exhibited better wear resistance than the substrate under the same wear conditions. The 30 wt.% WC HEAC displayed the lower friction coefficient, and the shallower wear groove depth. The grain refinement strengthening and second-phase particle strengthening could be beneficial to the enhanced hardness and wear resistance of coatings with WC additions. The corrosion behavior of the tested samples in the 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution were investigated using electrochemical polarization measurements. The CoCrFeNi(WC) coatings all revealed the improved corrosion resistance. Especially, a 10 wt.% WC addition remarkably enhanced the comprehensive corrosion resistance and easy passivation of CoCrFeNi HEAC.
