Abstract:
The FeCoCrNiAl high-entropy alloys (HEA) was used as binder of the Ti(C, N)-TiB2 composite cermets. The Ti(C, N)-TiB2-FeCoCrNiAl HEA composite cermets were successfully fabricated by mechanical alloying (MA) and vacuum hot-pressing sintering (VHPS) at different sintering temperatures. The microstructure, room-temperature hardness, fracture toughness, bending strength, high-temperature hardness and oxidation behavior were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Vickers hardness testing, indentation method, three point bending method, high-temperature vacuum hardness testing and cyclic oxidation. For the Ti(C, N)-TiB2-HEA composite cermets, apart from Ti(C, N) and TiB2 phases, also a minority Fe2B were detected in the XRD patterns. TEM observation revealed that the structure of the HEA binder was a solid solution where the Ti(C, N) and TiB2 were tightly bound. The Ti(C, N)-TiB2 composite cermets with a Ni/Co binder was selected as a reference. The experimental results indicated that the composite cermets with the HEA binder possesses excellent oxidation resistance. This is attributed to the formation of a continuous and dense external oxide scale and TiO2 layer that effectively impede inward oxygen transport, which leads to a remarkable improvement in the oxidation resistance. The Ti(C, N)-TiB2-HEA composite cermets sintered at 1500 degrees C showed excellent fracture toughness of 7.9 +/- 0.1 MPa.m(1/2). And the Ti(C, N)-TiB2-HEA composite cermets sintered at 1550 degrees C showed excellent hardness and bending strength of 1977.3 +/- 20 HV10 and 768.6 +/- 20 MPa, respectively. The high-temperature hardness of the HEA binder composite cermets was 993.7 +/- 30 EIV20, which was superior to the Ni/Co binder value of 668.1 +/- 30 HV20 at 1000 degrees C.
