Abstract:

Mechanical alloying (MA) is a high-energy ball milling process results in the obtaining of simple and stable microstructures having increased homogeneity compared to other non-equilibrium synthesis methods. The aim of this paper was to develop a high entropy alloy with an improved hardness value suitable for coating turbine blades working in geothermal steam. CoCrFeNiMo high entropy alloy was processed in solid state, using mechanical alloying. After 40h milling time in a planetary ball mill the alloyed sample was consolidated using spark plasma sintering process. The samples obtained were investigated with the aid of optical and electron microscope, X ray diffraction and the hardness value was determined. The results obtained revealed that the powder was completely alloyed after 40 hour milling and the mixture between BCC and FCC phases resulted in 34% improved hardness value in comparison with a stainless steel usually used for turbine blades working in geothermal environment.
