Description

Nano biphase high-entropy alloy film and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high-entropy alloy materials, in particular to a preparation method of a CuNiTiNbCr nano two-phase high-entropy alloy film.
Background
The high-entropy alloy film is used as a branch of the high-entropy alloy, the concept of the high-entropy alloy film is similar to that of the high-entropy alloy, namely the high-entropy alloy film comprises five or more elements, and the atomic percent of each element is 5-35%. The high-entropy alloy film has excellent performances of high hardness, high toughness, chemical corrosion resistance, wear resistance, irradiation resistance and the like, and is a novel hard film. The excellent performances enable the fuel to have wide application prospects in the fields of seawater corrosion, high-temperature wear resistance, accident fault-tolerant fuel cladding films and the like. At present, the preparation method of the high-entropy alloy film mainly comprises magnetron sputtering, multi-arc ion plating, thermal spraying, laser cladding and the like.
The high-entropy alloy film prepared by magnetron sputtering has practical application potential due to the compact structure, good combination with a matrix and high hardness. For example, the invention patent 201410082293.2 of Jianjian province has adopted magnetron sputtering to prepare two single-phase high-entropy alloy films, the five-element high-entropy alloy film of NiCrCoCuFe is of single-phase FCC structure, and the NiCrCoCuFeAl is4.5The six-element high-entropy alloy film is of a single-phase BCC structure; the invention patent 201910429868.6 of Wangze et al adopts a magnetron sputtering method to prepare a CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy film, and the XRD result shows that the film is of a single-phase structure; the invention patent 201810556405.1 of Song faith et al adopts magnetron sputtering to prepare TiNbHfZr quaternary refractory high-entropy alloy film, the structure of which is single-phase BCC structure and a small amount of HCP structure, and the strengthening mechanism is mainly solid solution strengthening because the HCP phase content is less. For a high-entropy alloy bulk phase material, a single-phase FCC high-entropy alloy has higher toughness but lower hardness; the single-phase BCC high-entropy alloy has higher hardness but insufficient toughness. Therefore, the method for synthesizing the FCC and BCC coexisting dual-phase high-entropy alloy has the advantages of high hardness and high toughness, and is an important way for realizing the toughness and toughness integration of the high-entropy alloy. However, due to the high entropy effect of the high-entropy alloy thin film and the rapid cooling process in the magnetron sputtering preparation process, elements in the thin film are difficult to separate by diffusion to obtain a two-phase structure. Y, P, Cai and the like adopt a two-step method to prepare a two-phase high-entropy alloy film, and firstly adoptThe CoCrCuFeNi/Al multilayer film is prepared by magnetron sputtering, and then annealing is carried out for 1 hour at 500 ℃, so that the FCC + BCC two-phase high-entropy alloy film is finally obtained, the hardness of the film can reach 10.4GPa, however, the two-step method has the defects of complex process and high cost, and the annealing step can increase the energy consumption. The invention patent CN202011487504.2 of Huangping et al prepares a biphase CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy film of amorphous wrapped FCC nanocrystalline with the highest hardness of 9GPa through radio frequency magnetron sputtering, and the biphase structure is essentially uniform in chemical components and still insufficient in film hardness. The preparation of the two-phase high-entropy alloy film formed by element diffusion and precipitation by a magnetron sputtering one-step method in the prior art still faces a great challenge.

The invention aims to provide a preparation method of a CuNiTiNbCr nano dual-phase high-entropy alloy film, aiming at the problems of the existing method for synthesizing the dual-phase high-entropy alloy film with coexisting FCC and BCC.
From the aspect of enthalpy of mixing, when the enthalpy of mixing of one element with other elements in the film is more positive, the element is easy to generate segregation by diffusion, so the enthalpy of mixing is referred to from the aspect of composition design. The enthalpy of mixing Cu with elements such as Ni, Nb, Cr, Ti, Fe, Co, Mn, V, Al and the like is more positive and is obviously higher than the enthalpy of mixing other elements such as Ni, Nb, Cr, Ti and the like between every two elements. Therefore, the selection of the above elements is expected to realize the segregation of Cu. Based on the special component design, the BCC nano second phase is formed by utilizing diffusion segregation of Cu, so that the mechanical property of the film is improved.
The preparation method of the nano biphase high-entropy alloy film mainly comprises two steps of base material pretreatment and high-power pulse magnetron sputtering deposition.

The metal A is Ni or Ti; the metal B is one of Ti, Fe and Cr; the metal C is one of Nb, Co and V; the metal D is one of Cr, Al and Mn; the four elements of the metal A, the metal B, the metal C and the metal D in the target material are four different elements.

(3) The method for depositing the nano biphase high-entropy alloy film can comprise the following two operation methods:
method one, before deposition, the chamber is vacuumized to 1 × 10-3Pa~5×10-3Pa, keeping the flow of Ar constant, wherein the flow of Ar is 40sccm, and maintaining the vacuum degree at 0.5-2.5 Pa by controlling the pumping speed of a vacuum pump; the average power of the five-element spliced target is 4-9W/cm2Applying bias voltage of 0-200V to the substrate, and depositing a nano two-phase high-entropy alloy film on the surface of the substrate; the lower layer of the film is a single FCC matrix phase, and the surface layer of the film is a two-phase composite structure of the FCC matrix phase and a copper-rich BCC nano phase.
Second, before deposition, the chamber is vacuumized to 1 × 10-3Pa~5×10-3Pa, keeping the Ar gas flow unchanged, wherein the Ar flow is 40sccm, maintaining the vacuum degree at 0.5-2.5 Pa by controlling the pumping speed of a vacuum pump, and starting a heating power supply to keep the temperature of the vacuum chamber at 200 ℃; the average power of the five-element spliced target is 4-9W/cm2Applying bias voltage of 0-200V to the substrate, and depositing a nano two-phase high-entropy alloy film on the surface of the substrate, wherein the film is integrally of a two-phase composite structure of an FCC substrate phase and a copper-rich BCC nano phase.
The difference between the two methods of this step is whether heating to 200 ℃ is carried out or not, and the structure of the resulting film is also different.
(4) After the film deposition is finished, cooling to below 100 ℃ in a vacuum environment, opening a cavity and discharging, and obtaining the nano two-phase high-entropy alloy film on the surface of the substrate.
