Abstract
The corrosion and passive behavior of the as-cast AlxCrFeNi3−x (x = 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 in molar ratio) high entropy alloys in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at room temperature was investigated by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization measurement, Mott-Schottky measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tests, and scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy. The increase of the Al content resulted in the decrease in corrosion resistance, which might be attributed to the reduction of stability and protection of passive films caused by composition difference. Furthermore, the p-type and n-type semiconductor properties of passive films were discussed.
