Abstract
In this work, heat treatment of three different temperatures (600 °C, 800 °C, and 1000 °C) was applied to as-cast Al0.75CoCr1.25FeNi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) to investigate the influence of heat treatment on their corrosion properties. Open circuit potential (OCP) and cyclic polarization tests reveal that the 1000 °C heat-treated HEA possesses excellent corrosion resistance, as indicated by the low corrosion tendency and corrosion current density. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiostatic polarization analyses imply the presence of a superior passive film on the 1000 °C heat-treated HEA. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis demonstrates that the passive film formed on the 1000 °C heat-treated HEA during potentiostatic polarization tests is most corrosion-resistant since it possesses the highest ratio of Al2O3/Al(OH)3 and Cr2O3/Cr(OH)3.
期刊介绍:
Metals (ISSN 2075-4701) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Metals provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of metals.
