Abstract
The current work studies the mechanical properties and high-temperature wear resistance of CoFeNi1.5VZr0.4Six high entropy alloys by Si alloying. The Si alloying transforms Ni7Zr2 into a more wear-resistant silicide phase, and the microstructure changes from lamellar eutectic structure to dendritic structure. The high temperature microhardness, compressive strength and fracture toughness of the HEAs increase first and then decrease with the increasing Si content. The Si alloying in HEAs brings about significant improvements in wear resistance at elevated temperature through the combined effects of phase structure modifications and compositional changes in the tribo-layer. The augmented mechanical properties of the worn subsurface layer contribute to improved wear resistance at elevated temperatures.
