Effects of process parameters and annealing on microstructure and properties of CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy coating prepared by plasma cladding

Abstract

High entropy alloys (HEAs) have garnered significant attention due to their unique characteristics, including high entropy, sluggish diffusion, severe lattice distortion, and cocktail effects. These properties contribute to outstanding mechanical performance such as high strength, high ductility, excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and more [1][2][3] . Despite these advantages of HEAs, their utilization has been limited by constraints in
