Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The oxidation resistance of high-temperature alloys is often limited at elevated temperatures, leading to issues such as peeling and failure after prolonged service. Applying high-temperature coatings can significantly improve the oxidation resistance of alloys and provide long-term reliability for high-temperature components. Numerous surface protection methods, including metal and non-metal coatings, can provide long-term reliable protection. The protective mechanisms and degradation behavior of these coatings have been a hot topic in the field of high-temperature protective coating research.

In this Special Issue, recent advances in advanced coatings and surface treatments for high-temperature applications in power industries are elaborated. In particular, topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Research on oxidation resistance mechanisms;
  • High-performance protective coatings;
  • Studies on coating degradation mechanisms;
  • Advanced metal/non-metal coatings;
  • The design of coating composition and structure.

In response to the poor wear resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance of titanium alloys during service, a series of lightweight refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) can be designed for the laser cladding coating of titanium alloy surfaces, with due consideration of the compositional and structural characteristics of titanium alloys. Firstly, the structural stability, mechanical and thermal properties of four lightweight RHEAs (MoNbTiV, AlMoNbTiW, CrMoNbTiV, and AlCrMoNbTiV) with equal atomic ratios were designed and calculated using first principles combined with quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA). The results indicate that all four RHEAs are stable BCC, exhibiting elastic anisotropy and ductility. The lightest density is 6.409 g/cm3. Adding Al/Cr can cause structural distortion and affect its mechanical properties. Their Young’s moduli are in the following order: AlCrMoNbTiV > MoNbTiV > CrMoNbTiV > AlMoNbTiV. The thermal expansion coefficients of the four RHEAs and titanium alloys are very close, with a difference in linear expansion coefficient of less than 1.16 × 10−5/K. Meanwhile, the metallurgical bonding of four types of RHEA coatings was successfully achieved on a Ti-6Al-4V(TC4) substrate through laser cladding technology, and all coatings exhibited a unique BCC solid solution phase.

In this work, the influence of laser power (LP), scanning speed (SS), and powder feeding speed (PF) on the porosity, dilution, and microhardness of lightweight refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) coatings produced via laser cladding (LC) was investigated. Variance analysis (ANOVA) was deployed to ascertain the effect of LP, SS, and PF on performance metrics such as porosity, dilution, and microhardness. The Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) was then applied to optimize these processing parameters to minimize porosity, achieve suitable dilution, and maximize microhardness, enhancing the mechanical properties of RHEA coatings. Finally, machine learning models—Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT), and Genetic Algorithm-enhanced GBDT (GA-GBDT)—were developed using orthogonal experimental data, with GA-GBDT demonstrating superior predictive accuracy. The proposed approach integrates statistical analysis and advanced ML techniques, providing a better understanding into optimizing LP, SS, and PF for improved RHEA coatings performance in industrial applications, thereby advancing laser cladding technology.
