In-situ reactive synthesis and characterization of a high entropy alloy coating by laser metal deposition

In this study, we investigate the influence of in situ reactive synthesis of Ti6Al4V– AlCoCrFeNiCu high entropy alloys by laser metal deposition on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the as-built alloy as opposed to the traditional method of mixing powders via a ball mill prone to cont...
