Abstract
Based on the design concept of high-entropy alloy materials, this study prepared FeCoNiCr0.2B0.2 alloy on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by magnetic field-assisted laser cladding to improve the wear resistance performance of titanium alloy surfaces. The change in magnetic field intensity does not affect the phase composition of the alloy coating. The phase composition of the FeCoNiCr0.2B0.2 alloy coating mainly consists of FCC and BCC. The fine secondary α titanium phase was found in the magnetic field-assisted laser cladding coatings. The magnetic field reduces the crack sensitivity of the coatings. The wear resistance of a FeCoNiCr0.2B0.2 alloy coating is higher than that of the substrate. The FeCoNiCr0.2B0.2 alloy coating has the best mechanical properties and wear resistance when the magnetic field intensity is 30 mT. The nanohardness of the coating can reach 8.53 GPa. The friction coefficient, wear depth, and wear volume of the FeCoNiCr0.2B0.2 alloy coating are the smallest among all samples when the magnetic field intensity is 30 mT.
