The results show that the interfacial bonding state of the coated diamond composite is obviously better than that of the uncoated diamond composite. Corresponding mechanical properties such as hardness, density, transverse fracture strength and friction properties of the coated diamond composite were also found to be better than those of the uncoated diamond composite. The effects of interface structure and defects on the mechanical properties of HEA\/diamond composites were investigated. The research directions for further improving the structure and properties of high-entropy alloy\/diamond composites were proposed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e21020164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,12]],"date-time":"2019-02-12T03:18:20Z","timestamp":1549941500000},"page":"164","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Effect of Ti\/Ni Coating of Diamond Particles on Microstructure and Properties of High-Entropy Alloy\/Diamond Composites"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Powder Metallurgy Research Institute, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}]},{"given":"Mingyang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Powder Metallurgy Research Institute, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}]},{"given":"Yingbo","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210031, China"}]},{"given":"Fangzhou","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Powder Metallurgy Research Institute, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Powder Metallurgy Research Institute, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}]},{"given":"Songhao","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Henan Huanghe Whirlwind Co., Ltd., Xuchang 461500, China"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yuanmeng Precision Technology (Shenzhen) Institute, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"299","DOI":"10.1002\/adem.200300567","article-title":"Nanostructured high-entropy alloys with multiple principal elements: Novel alloy design concepts and outcomes","volume":"6","author":"Yeh","year":"2004","journal-title":"Adv.
