Microstructure and Corrosion Properties of the AlCo0.5Cr1.5FeNi2.1 High-Entropy Alloy
摘要
The AlCo0.5Cr1.5FeNi2.1 high-entropy alloy (HEA) with abnormal microstructure and excellent corrosion resistance was synthesized by non-consumable vacuum arc furnace. The AlCo0.5Cr1.5FeNi2.1 HEA was composed of the face-centered cubic (FCC) phases, the body-centered cubic (BCC) phases, and the ordered BCC (B2) phases. The pitting potential (Epit), passive current density (Ipass), and polarization resistance (Rp) of the AlCo0.5Cr1.5FeNi2.1 HEA in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution were 0.51 V, 6.40E−06 A/cm2, and 273.08 × 103 Ω cm2, respectively. The excellent corrosion resistance of the alloy indicated its potential application in marine engineering fields.
