Abstract
The corrosion and passive behaviors of CoCrFeNiNbx (x = 0.3, 0.45, 0.6) high-entropy alloys with eutectic microstructures were studied in different electrolyte solutions (0.6 M NaCl, 0.6 M Na2SO4, and 0.6 M H2SO4). The potentiodynamic polarisation test showed that the pitting potential of Nb0.45 alloy reached 1.084V, and the alloy had the best corrosion resistance in Na2SO4 solution. Mott Schottky tests and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tests on the Nb0.45 alloy, and it was found that different film forming mechanisms in neutral and acidic solutions. A double-layer passivation film mainly composed of Cr(OH)3, Cr2O3, and Nb2O5 was formed. These studies provide basic theoretical reference for the preparation of new corrosion resistant high-entropy alloys.
