This study successfully prepared a FeCrNi medium entropy alloy with ultrahigh Cr content using SLM technology, showing excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance mainly attributed to the stable passive film formed by a large number of cell boundaries.
Selective laser melting (SLM) has the advantage in preparing supersaturated solid solutions due to its unique thermal field and high solidification rate. In this study, a face-centered cubic single-phase FeCrNi medium entropy alloy (MEA) with an ultrahigh Cr content (similar to 35 at.%) was additively manufactured by SLM. The as-built MEA shows a hierarchical microstructure of coarse columnar grains and submicron dislocation cell structures, where the cell boundaries are probed segregated with Cr and C and decorated with nano carbides. The appearance of these dislocation barriers results in an excellent combination of strength (sigma(0.2) = 745 MPa, sigma(UTS)= 1007 MPa) and ductility (epsilon(r) = 31%). The current MEA also shows a superb corrosion resistance with a corrosion current density of 0.06 mu A cm(-2) in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, which is far lower than that of 316 L. The high content of solutioned Cr in the MEA ensures sufficient Cr supply to form an integrated Cr2O3 passive film, and the large number of cell boundaries acting as the diffusion channels lead to the fast formation of a stable passive film over the alloy surface.
