Abstract
In this work, the effect of the dual-phase microstructure (FCC and Laves phases) of Ni1.5CrCoFe0.5Mo0.1Nbx (x = 0.55 hypoeutectic, 0.68 eutectic and 0.8 hypereutectic) high-entropy alloy coatings on their corrosion and tribo-corrosion behaviors were studied. In a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, the FCC phase behaved as anodic sites. With the increase of Nb content, the passive regions of the coatings increased slightly. Mott–Schottky analysis revealed that the improvement in the performance of the passive film is mainly attributed to the reduced point-defect density. The increased Laves phase changed the wear mechanism of the coatings from adhesive to abrasive wear.
