Study of High Entropy Alloy Cladding Using Gas Tungsten Arc Cladding
Keywords:
High Entropy Alloys, High Energy Ball Mill, Gas Tungsten ArcAbstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are materials that have attracted much attention due to their outstanding properties, such as mechanical strength, heat resistance, and wear resistance. This paper reviews literature on the preparation of high entropy alloy powders using the high-energy ball milling process for application in the gas tungsten arc cladding process to examine the structure and corrosion resistance of the resulting cladded layers. It is found that the process distributes various elements uniformly, resulting in a strong dendritic structure. After cladding, the material exhibits increased hardness and improved corrosion resistance, as some elements have the ability to form a protective, corrosion-resistant film. Therefore, high-entropy alloys have significant potential for the development of advanced engineering materials.
