Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

High-entropy alloy/funtional coatings have been widely utilized to protect component substrate in extreme conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, and strong corrosion, etc. The mechanical and thermal physical properties of high-entropy alloy/funtional coatings could be affected by the coating microstructure, which determines coating tribology characteristics and the component service life. Therefore, it is necessary to illustrate the relationship of coating microsture to physical properties, tribological properties and experimental results. This relationship could guide the design of functional coating. This Special Issue aims to solicit research/review papers on the design and application of new high-entropy alloy/functional coatings in scientific research or industry.

Physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings could affect the friction performance at the contact interface between Ti2AlNb alloy parts and tool couples. Suitable coating types could improve the friction properties of Ti2AlNb alloy while in contact with WC/Co carbide. In this study, the linear reciprocating pin–disc friction tests between the Ti2AlNb alloy and the WC/Co carbide tool couple, with the sole variation of the PVD CrAlN/(CrAlB)N/CrAlN coating were conducted within the temperature range of 25–600 °C. The antifriction properties of the Ti2AlNb alloy were estimated using the time-varied friction coefficients, the alloy wear rate, worn surface topography, worn surface element, and wear mechanism analysis. The results showed that the PVD CrAlN/(CrAlB)N/CrAlN coating could decrease the average friction coefficient and alloy wear rate compared to the uncoated WC/Co carbide couple. The apparent adhesive wear and abrasive wear of the Ti2AlNb alloy could be improved due to the PVD coating at evaluated temperatures. The PVD CrAlN/(CrAlB)N/CrAlN coating could be utilized to improve the antifriction properties of the Ti2AlNb alloy, which may be deposited on the cutting tool to improve the machining performance of Ti2AlNb alloys in future aerospace machining industry.
