Abstract
This work thoroughly investigated the effects of the L12 size upon the corrosion behavior for L12-strengthened HEAs. Compared with the single-phase homogenized HEA, HEAs strengthened by small-sized L12 exhibited higher pitting potential (Epit). Nevertheless, with the L12 coarsening, Epit decreases markedly. The exceptional corrosion behavior for small-sized L12-strengthened HEAs was attributed to the rapid repassivation of the remaining FCC matrix after the complete dissolution of L12, forming the uniform and Cr-enriched films. The deteriorated corrosion resistance induced by the larger L12 was ascribed to heterogeneous films due to the incomplete dissolution of L12 and the reduced pitting growth resistance.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
