Fabrication,Microstructure and Mechanical Characterization of CrVNbTaW High Entropy Alloy Coatings Using Magnetron Sputtering
Abstract
In this project a CrVNbTaW high entropy alloy was evaluated. The samples were made using radio frequency magnetron sputtering and were made under similar conditions. The deposition parameters were explored to find the ideal deposition process. The process included a pressure from 0.1-2mTorr, 600C, 1 hour duration, at 100W power to guns, and constant argon flow. The samples were fabricated under similar parameters using silicon steel and sapphire substrates. The samples were analyzed and characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, nanoindentation and corrosion testing. Based on these results we were able to get a better understanding of the parameters of deposition, the crystallization of this HEA and extent of the properties of this composition.
