Abstract
A dual-phase high entropy alloy (DP-HEA) containing 7.82 wt% Al was synthesized to withstand corrosive supercritical water. The long-term corrosion and quasi-static tensile tests reveal superior resistance to such environmental-assisted degeneration. The outstanding corrosion resistance can be attributed to the high aluminum content in B2 phase, which forms a continuous Al2O3 layer for protection, while the FCC phase is selectively corroded. Under external stress, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) initiates from surface oxide and penetrates uncompact mixed Cr/Al-rich oxide in deteriorated FCC regions or corroded phase interface, though network-shaped B2 can inhibit SCC propagation, which supports the brittle film rupture model.
