Enhancing mechanical properties of AlCrFeNiTix high-entropy alloy coatings via Ti-induced sunflower microstructure

Key Points

• Mechanical properties of high-entropy alloy coatings improved significantly with titanium influence, leading to stronger performance.
• Enhanced microstructure features include sunflower patterns that contribute to the alloy's durability and resilience.
• Assessment using experimental techniques clarified the relationship between microstructure and mechanical enhancements in the coatings.
• Indicates potential for advancing material performance, although further investigation into long-term stability is needed.
