Abstract

This study involves the production of HEA materials using low-temperature and high-pressure principles by mechanical-alloying AlCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy powders, followed by electroless Ag coating for enhanced interface properties and hot-pressing without additional sintering. The Ag interface significantly improved the bonding of HEA powders. While increasing temperature causes a 10 % weight gain due to oxidation in HEA samples, this rate is only 1.5 % in those produced with Ag-coated HEA. The Ag interface improved the hardness of the HEAs by 50 %. The wear rate was reduced by more than twofold due to the Ag-interfaces. Ag exhibited a self-lubricating effect due to the Ag layers that repeatedly emerge during sliding, resulting in a low friction coefficient of 0.19 and excellent wear resistance.
