Abstract
- The (AlCrTiZrHf)N high-entropy alloy nitride films were synthesized by reactive magnetron sputtering. The effects of different N 2 flow rates on the microstructures and mechanical properties of (AlCrTiZrHf)N films were studied by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), nanoindentation, coating friction and wear tester. The results show that the AlCrTiZrHf high-entropy alloy film presents an amorphous state. With the increase of the N 2 flow rate, the (AlCrTiZrHf)N high-entropy alloy nitride films transform to a face-centered-cubic (FCC) structure. When the N 2 :Ar ratio is 5:4, the hardness and elastic modulus of the films reach 33.1 GPa and 347.3 GPa, respectively. The strengthening effect is mainly attributed to the formation of saturated metal-nitride phases and the solid-solution strengthening of various elements. Meanwhile, the (AlCrTiZrHf)N film exhibits the low friction coefficient and superior wear resistance. Based on the excellent properties of high-entropy alloy nitride films, the (AlCrTiZrHf)N film presents a potential application in protective coating. Image 1 • The (AlCrTiZrHf)N high-entropy alloy nitride films with different nitrogen content were produced. • The (AlCrTiZrHf)N films transform to a face-centered-cubic (FCC) structure with the increase of the N 2 flow rate. • When the N 2 :Ar ratio is 5:4, the hardness and elastic modulus of the film reach the maximum of 33.1 GPa and 347. • GPa.4.The friction coefficient was 0.5.
