This paper focuses on the study of the structure and mechanical properties of CoCrCuxFeNi high-entropy alloys and their adhesion to single diamond crystals. CoCrCuxFeNi alloys were manufactured by the powder metallurgy route, specifically via mechanical alloying of elemental powders, followed by hot pressing. The addition of copper led to the formation of a dual-phase FCC + FCC2 structure. The CoCrCu0.5FeNi alloy exhibited the highest ultimate tensile strength (1080 MPa). Reductions in the ductility of the CoCrCuxFeNi HEAs and the tendency for brittle fracture behavior were observed at high copper concentrations. The equiatomic alloys CoCrFeNi and CoCrCuFeNi demonstrated high adhesion strength to single diamond crystals. The diamond surface at the fracture of the composites having the CoCrFeNi matrix had chromium-rich metal matrix regions, thus indicating that chromium carbide, responsible for adhesion, was formed at the composite–diamond interface. Copper-rich areas were detected on the diamond surface within the composites having the CoCrCuFeNi matrix due to the predominant precipitation of the FCC2 phase at the interfaces or the crack propagation along the FCC/FCC2 interface, resulting in the exposure of the Cu-rich FCC2 phase on the surface.
В работе был изучен характер протекания диффузионного легирования при совместном восстановлении оксидов вольфрама и молибдена и оксалата кобальта на железном порошке водородом. Установлено, что легирующие элементы при восстановлении преимущественно диффундируют на поверхностях железных частиц, но вместе с тем идет и процесс объемной диффузии.
This paper focuses on the development of composite materials based on the Fe–Ni–Cu alloy with hollow corundum microspheres (HCM). The composites were produced by means of powder metallurgy: by mixing initial metallic powders in various types of mixers followed by hot pressing. Compact samples of Fe–Ni–Cu + HCM composites featured high relative density and microstructure homogeneity. The introduction of HCM leads to a decrease in strength to 30 % (from 1125 MPa to 800 MPa at a HCM concentration of 15 vol.%). However, resulting composite materials retained high plasticity. It was established by the micromechanical modeling method that such composites have stress concentration regions not at the interface between HCM and the matrix, but on the inner surface of microspheres. On the contrary, the adjacent matrix volume around HCM features stress relaxation and «unloaded» regions formed. HCM introduction into the matrix based on the Fe–Ni–Cu alloy increases wear resulting from friction on M300 concrete by 50–170 % with a grain size of 70–100 μm and by 160–325 % with a grain size of 100–140 μm. During friction, HCMs act as a reservoir for debris (concrete particles), so the matrix surface remains free of wear products and directly contacts the material processed. The heavy wear of composites with HCM makes them promising for use as a binder in diamond tools designed for the dry cutting of concrete and reinforced concrete.
