Background
As technology continues to develop, there is a growing demand for protective properties of materials from which cutting tools, turbine blades, reactor walls, etc. are made. The increased hardness and oxidation resistance at high temperatures are one of the most basic properties that such materials must possess. Transition Metal Nitride (TMN) coatings are widely used for cutting protective coatings, scratch resistant devices, hard parts of metal matrix composites and corrosion resistant coatings due to their superior properties including high melting point, high hardness, high chemical and thermal stability, excellent wear resistance and electrical conductivity. However, the TMN material is subject to the problems of hardness reduction and oxidation failure when in service under a high-temperature environment, so that the design of TMN with enhanced performance is important.
Much research is currently focused on further improving the mechanical and oxidation resistance properties of TMN coatings by tailoring the microstructure of the TMN coating. The most common of these methods is two main ones, one of which is the formation of nanocomposite structures by doping, also known as nanoscale alloying, the alloying of Al to transition metal nitrides (MeN) being considered as a popular strategy to increase the hardness (H) and oxidation resistance widely required by the modern industry. Another way is to obtain a high entropy material by multi-component solid solution.
In recent years, high-entropy nitride has been published about 70 times since 2004 as a high-entropy ceramic that has been studied more widely. Among them, the high entropy nitrides based on early transition group metals, which have been reported, are generally solid solutions having FCC structures, and have exhibited many excellent properties such as high hardness, good corrosion resistance and thermal stability. Meanwhile, compared with the traditional TMN, the mechanical, friction and corrosion performances of HEN are improved to a certain extent. However, as the number of components increases, the difficulty of successful preparation of materials increases, and in particular, how the structure evolves due to the addition of elements which are difficult to dissolve, such as Al, is not clear.
