| Summary: | The CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy and TiB2p/CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy composite (HEC) were manufactured by Selective laser melting. For the CoCrFeNiMn, a coarse epitaxial columnar microstructure with strong crystallographic textures was generated. While in the TiB2p/CoCrFeNiMn, TiB2 particles are distributed in the significantly refined dendrites and nearly equiaxial grains, and phase transformation occurs to form σ phase. TiB2 and σ phase construct a strong interface relationship with the matrix. TiB2p/CoCrFeNiMn HEC has extremely high microhardness (329 ± 2 HV) and excellent wear resistance (coefficients of friction 0.31 ± 0.02). The wear mechanism of the HEC was studied refer to the microstructure, composition and hardness.IMPACT STATEMENTTiB2-reinforced CoCrFeNiMn-based high-entropy composite is successfully fabricated by Selective laser melting, which exhibits exceptional hardness and the best wear resistance.
