Abstract

Al0.3Cr0.5Fe2MoxNi1.5Ti0.3 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.15) FCC+L21 compositionally complex alloys are investigated using electrochemical and surface science methods in 0.1 M Na2SO4 and 0.1 M NaCl at pH 4 and 10. Mo is mainly found in the FCC phase and amplifies Al and Ti partitioning. The passive film is enriched in Cr(III), Ti(IV), Mo(IV)/Mo(VI), and (at pH 4) Al(III) with elemental fates tracked during film formation and dissolution. Mo presence does not enhance Cr or Ni passivation, instead promoting Ti(IV). Pitting and repassivation potentials increase at higher Mo concentrations, suggesting improved resistance to localized corrosion often initiated at FCC-L21 interfaces.
