Abstract

The corrosion behavior of CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution with and without 0.05 M NaHSO3 was studied by electrochemical measurement, immersion test, and atomic force microscope. The results show that with the addition of HSO3−, the state of activation indicated by the anodic reaction evolves to the passivation state. Corrosion resistance is related to the state of the film on the HEA surface. The addition of HSO3− may produce a protective composition that transforms the corrosion product film into passive film. With the presence of HSO3−, the dense and highly protective passive film is formed, which improves the corrosion resistance of the HEA. Without HSO3−, the loose, incompact and incomplete corrosion product film produced on the surface of the HEA exhibits a low protective effect.
