β¦ Synopsis
Effects of plasma nitriding at 525 Β°C on microstructure and mechanical performance of a brand-new Al 0.5 CrFe 1.5 MnNi 0.5 high-entropy alloy (HEA) were investigated. This alloy exhibits a large age hardening effect at temperatures from 600 to 800 Β°C and can be well-nitrided in the as-cast condition or the homogenized and furnace-cooled state. The nitrided layer has a thickness around 75 ΞΌm and a peak hardness level of Hv 1250 near the surface. The nitrided Al 0.5 CrFe 1.5 MnNi 0.5 alloys exhibit superior adhesive wear resistance to conventional nitrided steels by 25-54 times due to their much thicker highly-hardened layer and higher peak hardness than that of conventional steels.
