Abstract

CrFeCoNi and CrMnFeCoNi coatings were prepared by laser remelting method. The grain boundary characteristics distribution of both coatings was investigated by electron backscattered diffraction technique. The results showed that the CrFeCoNi coating exhibited higher fraction of low angle grain boundaries and Σ3 boundaries compared to the CrMnFeCoNi coating. The corrosion properties of the CrFeCoNi and CrMnFeCoNi coatings in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were identified by electrochemical method and localized electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. The results indicated that the CrFeCoNi coating had a higher corrosion resistance than the CrMnFeCoNi coating. The better corrosion resistance of the CrFeCoNi coating could be attributed to the high fraction of Σ3 boundaries and low fraction of the high angle boundaries.
