To obtain high-entropy alloys (HEAS) coating with excellent properties on Q235 steel, a kind of HEAS powders was designed. The HEAS coating was prepared uniformly on Q235 steel by laser cladding. By means of OM, XRD and microhardness tester, the microstructure and properties of the high-entropy alloy layer were investigated. The experimental results indicate that the phases in the high-entropy alloy coating is mainly MoFeCrTiW with simple BCC, whose lattice parameter is a-3.1256Å. The microstructure in the coating is mainly cellular crystal, on which dispersion precipitates exist. And in the near bottom of the coating, there is few precipitates, in the middle part of coating, the precipitates are larger than that of bottom coating, while in near top of coating, dispersion precipitates become largest. The maximum microhardness value of coating reaches 800HV0.98.
A gradient bioceramic composite coating was prepared by wide-band laser cladding technique on TC4 alloy surface. The influence of rare earths oxide CeO2 on microstructure of bioceramic coating was studied. The experimental results indicated that CeO2 plays an important role in inducing HA + β-TCP formation. There is almost no HA+β-TCP in bioceramic coating without CeO2. When CeO2 content is higher than 0.2 wt.%, the amount of HA+β-TCP catalyzed by CeO2 gradually increases. The amount of HA+β-TCP becomes largest when CeO2 content is up to 0.4wt%. However, when CeO2 content ranges from 0.6 wt.% to 0.8 wt.%, the amount of synthesizing HA+β-TCP conversely goes down. Through cell culture experiment in vitro, the effect of bioceramic coating with different CeO2 contents on the expression of characteristic protein is investigated. The results show that the largest amount of expression of hydroxyproline(Hyp) at 2d and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) at 6d on coating is complied with 0.4wt.% CeO2, The result indicates that bioactivity of bioceramic coating is dependent on the amount of HA + β-TCP catalyzed by different CeO2 contents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
