Abstract

The influence of temperature on the corrosion and cavitation erosion-corrosion (CE-C) behavior of Al10Cr28Co28Ni34 high-entropy alloy (HEA) coating in seawater was investigated. Interestingly, the corrosion resistance of the coating progressively diminished with an increase in seawater temperature, but the CE-C resistance demonstrated a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease. At higher seawater temperature, the resistance of the coating surface and the destructive force of the bubbles were respectively enhanced and weakened due to the increase in oxide film thickness, maximum bubble size, and collapse time, together leading to a reduction in the damage degree to the coating.
