Friction and wear are a leading cause of energy loss, inefficiency, and failure in structural alloys, and a scientific understanding of the mechanisms of wear is critical to the design of high performance materials for energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure applications. A new class of alloys known as High Entropy Alloys has recently been found to possess both high strength and the potential for very high wear resistance. This award supports research to determine the fundamental mechanisms of this high wear resistance in two novel High Entropy Alloy compositions. The new knowledge to be gained from this work has the potential to enable the design of high performance materials able to withstand large forces in extreme service environments, including friction and wear at cryogenic temperatures. Students engaged in the research activities will gain valuable educational experience at the undergraduate and graduate level.The aim of this research project is to examine the hypotheses that the high entropy alloys CoCrFeMnNi and carbon-doped Fe40.4Ni11.3Mn34.8Al7.5Cr6, because of their superior yield strengths compared to stainless steel, will show better wear resistance than stainless steel at 77 K, that that the contacting surfaces of the two alloys will be resistant to phase transformations during dry sliding wear at either room temperature or 77 K, and that the worn surfaces will not exhibit ferromagnetism, whereas austenitic stainless steel AISI 316 will exhibit both of these problems. Dry sliding pin-on-disk wear tests will be performed at both 77 K and 293 K at different sliding velocities and in different environments on these two alloys, and compared to the behavior of 316 stainless steel. The relationship between the microstructure, deformation processes (including material transfer), phase transformations, friction and wear behavior will be determined. Microstructural characterization of the pre- and post-wear specimens will include transmission electron microscopy, X-ray dispersive spectroscopy; computed-assisted profilometry; X-ray diffraction; nanoindentation; cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy, atom probe tomography; and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

摩擦和磨损是结构合金能量损失、效率低下和失效的主要原因，对磨损机制的科学理解对于能源、制造和基础设施应用的高性能材料的设计至关重要。最近发现一种称为高熵合金的新型合金既具有高强度又具有极高耐磨性的潜力。该奖项支持研究以确定两种新型高熵合金成分的高耐磨性的基本机制。从这项工作中获得的新知识有可能使高性能材料的设计能够在极端使用环境中承受巨大的力，包括低温下的摩擦和磨损。参与研究活动的学生将在本科和研究生阶段获得宝贵的教育经验。该研究项目的目的是检验高熵合金 CoCrFeMnNi 和碳掺杂 Fe40.4Ni11.3Mn34.8Al7.5Cr6 的假设，因为与不锈钢相比，它们具有优异的屈服强度，在 77 K 时将表现出比不锈钢更好的耐磨性，即两种合金的接触表面在干滑动过程中能够抵抗相变在室温或 77 K 下磨损，并且磨损表面不会表现出铁磁性，而奥氏体不锈钢 AISI 316 会表现出这两个问题。将在 77 K 和 293 K 温度下、在不同的滑动速度和不同的环境下对这两种合金进行干滑动销盘磨损测试，并与 316 不锈钢的性能进行比较。将确定微观结构、变形过程（包括材料转移）、相变、摩擦和磨损行为之间的关系。 磨损前和磨损后样本的微观结构表征将包括透射电子显微镜、X 射线色散光谱；计算机辅助轮廓测量； X射线衍射；纳米压痕；横截面扫描电子显微镜、原子探针断层扫描；该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
