Cooperative effect of Cr and Al elements on passivation enhancement of eutectic high-entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 with precipitates

Xiaotian Duan et al.

Summary: In this study, the corrosion resistance of AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 alloy was found to be enhanced by the formation of BCC precipitates. The FCC phase with L1 2 precipitates and the B2 phase with BCC precipitates were protected by passive films enriched with Cr and Al elements respectively. The stability of the Al-rich passive film on the B2 phase was improved by the formation of Cr-rich BCC precipitates within the phase. Moreover, the Cr-rich passive film protected the BCC precipitates and inhibited the expansion of corrosion pits.
