摘要

In this work, the impact of Cr addition on the corrosion behavior of FeCoNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA) in 10 wt.% NH4Cl medium was systematically explored. The results demonstrate that compared with the MEA, CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) exhibits lower passive current density (26 μA cm−2) and higher pitting potential (0.213 V), indicating superior corrosion resistance. The discrepancy in anti-corrosion property between the two alloys is largely attributable to microstructure and passivation film performance. Adding Cr refines the grain size of the alloy and forms protective Cr-based compounds within the surface film and reduces the content of unstable iron oxides. These influencing factors synergistically contribute to the generation of a thicker, denser and more stable passivation film with fewer defects, thereby enhancing the corrosion resistance of the alloy and greatly decreasing the pitting quantity.
