Abstract: Laser cladding technology was used to prepare the AlxNbMn2FeMoTi0.5 high-entropy alloy coatings on the Q235 steel substrate. It was expected to improve the hardness and the wear resistance of the surface layer of cutting tool suitable for dry cutting technology. After preliminary selecting, the AlxNbMn2FeMoTi0.5 (x=1,1.5,2) high-entropy alloy coating system was mainly studied, and the phase structure, microstructure and specific element distribution of the AlxNbMn2FeMoTi0.5 alloy coatings with different Al content were analyzed by means of XRD and 3D laser scanning imaging. The results show that for the AlxNbMn2FeMoTi0.5 high-entropy alloy coatings, with the continuous addition of Al, the phase structure of the coating gradually evolves from a single BCC phase to a dual-phase BCC structure, and the grains are gradually refined. When x=2, the AlxNbMn2FeMoTi0.5 high-entropy alloy coating reaches the highest hardness, with an average of 1089.6 HV0.3, which is about 5 times of that of the base material, and it has the best wear performance.When x=1.5, the AlxNbMn2FeMoTi0.5 high-entropy alloy coating reaches the highest self corrosion potential and the lowest self corrosion current density, and has the best corrosion resistance.
