Abstract
High-entropy alloys receive more attention for high strength, good ductility as well as good wear resistance. In this work, CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings were deposited on compacted graphite iron through plasma transfer arc at different currents. The microstructure and wear properties of the CoCrFeNiMn HEA coatings were investigated. The coatings are composed of single phase with FCC structure. The CoCrFeNiMn HEA coating had the highest microhardness of 394 ± 21.6 HV0.2 and the lowest wear mass loss when the plasma current was 65 A. All of the HEA coatings had higher friction coefficients than that of the substrate. There were adhesive, abrasive and oxidation wear forms in the HEA coatings with the wear couple of N80 alloy. The HEA coating presented higher friction coefficient and better wear resistance than compacted graphite iron.
