Abstract
AlCrFeNiCuWx high entropy alloys were fabricated on 316 L stainless steel substrate using laser metal deposition technique. The microstructural and mechanical characteristics of these alloys were studied by advanced characterization techniques. The results revealed that the alloys exhibited a dual phase structure with BCC (body centered cubic) and FCC (face centered cubic) solid solution phases. The presence of tungsten (W) particles in the HEA matrix changed the shape of grains from columnar to aquiaxed. The alloys that contained W possessed higher plasticity at maximum compressive stress. They also showed better performance when they were evaluated for wear and corrosion.
