Abstract

AlCoCrFeMgx high-entropy alloys were prepared through mechanical alloying along with subsequent hot pressing, and further, the microstructure and corrosion resistance of the alloys were comprehensively assessed using optical microscopy (OM), electrochemical measurements, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion behaviour was probed in 3.5 wt % NaCl. Among the compositions investigated, AlCoCrFeMg0.8 had the lowest corrosion rate (CR), as reflected by its elevated polarization resistance (Rp = 8.73 Ohm cm2), charge transfer resistance (530.9 Ohm cm2), and the lowest double layer capacitance (0.88 × 10–5 Ohm–1 cm–2 S, while AlCoCrFeMg0.2 exhibited the highest corrosion rate with a significantly lower polarization resistance (Rp = 1.26 Ohm cm2), charge transfer resistance (105.4 Ohm cm2), and the double layer capacitance (9.38 × 10–5 Ohm–1 cm–2 S). These findings reflect the role of magnesium content in the corrosion behaviour of AlCoCrFeMgx high-entropy alloys.
