PROSPECTS FOR THE USE OF HIGH-ENTROPY ALLOYS FOR RESTORING MACHINE PARTS BY ATMOSPHERIC PLASMA DEPOSITION

A brief analysis of the most common methods for producing multicomponent alloys, including high-entropy alloys (HES), is presented in terms of their use as an alternative to coatings made of traditional structural metal materials. Preliminary studies of the microstructure and phase compo-sition of the coating obtained by plasma deposition of FeCoCrAlTiCuMo powder in the equiatom-ic ratio of components are presented. The results of the research showed the possibility of obtain-ing a multicomponent single-phase solid solution by plasma sputtering and indicated the feasibil-ity of its further study.
