Abstract

The ion sulfurizing technique was carried out on CoCrFeNiSi0.4 and CoCrFeMoNi high entropy alloys (HEAs), the microstructures and tribological properties of the HEAs before and after sulfurization were tested and analyzed. Results indicated that the CoCrFeNiSi0.4 and CoCrFeMoNi HEAs were both dominated by FCC solid solution. After sulfurization, the FeS and FeS/MoS2 multisulfides lubricant films with thickness around 4 μm were successfully fabricated on CoCrFeNiSi0.4 and CoCrFeMoNi HEAs, respectively. The grains of FeS/MoS2 multisulfides films were more compact than those of single FeS films. After sulfurization, the friction coefficients of CoCrFeNiSi0.4 and CoCrFeMoNi HEAs were decreased from 0.6 and 0.47 to 0.152 and 0.12, respectively. Because of the effectively synergistic work of FeS and MoS2 lubricant phases, the FeS/MoS2 multisulfides films performed lower stable friction coefficient (0.12) and weight loss (4.25 mg) than single FeS films, which were 0.152 and 5.9 mg, respectively.
