SYNTHESIS OF CoFeCrMnNi/TiC-HIGH ENTROPY ALLOY COMPOSITE COATINGS BY ELECTRODEPOSITION TECHNIQUE

Abstract

CoFeCrMnNi high entropy alloys (HEA) composite coating containing various weight fractions of titanium carbide (TiC) was electrodeposited over a copper substrate using an electrodeposition technique. The current work to investigate the synthesis of HEA-TiC composite coatings through simple and convenient process. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement confirms the presence of single-phase HEA/TiC composite coating comprising of FCC and BCC phase. In addition, the fabricated coating material has a rough surface with five elements and TiC uniform dispersion confirmed by scanning electron microscopy- Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Specifically, these results revealed the better properties of HEA-TiC composite coatings were achieved within short duration and simple technique.
