The capacity to endure harsh wear in demanding conditions in stainless steel drops under extreme nature and applications. Protecting the surface by providing a coating layer supports the usage in harsh conditions. In this work, SS316L is coated with AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) by atmospheric plasma spray process and annealed at 600°C for 2 hours.

A lightweight AlSiBeTiV high entropy alloy (HEA) powder is synthesized by the ball milling process and is reinforced on SS410 through friction stir processing (FSP). Subsequently, the annealing process is conducted on the processed samples at 450, 600, and 750°C for 120 mins. The grains are refined at 600°C by 23.

The significance of advanced smart materials in recent technological research and advancement is apparent from its extensive use in present day devices and instruments. Of the various smart materials in use today, the fascinating category of shape memory alloys (SMAs) is equipped with the ability to return to a previously memorized shape under certain thermomechanical or magnetic stimuli. The unique property of shape memory effect and superelasticity displayed by these materials along with good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance make them ideal for biomedical applications.
