Corrosion Behavior of CoCrFeNiTa(x) Alloys in 1 M Sodium Chloride Aqueous Solution

This paper investigates the effects of Ta content on the microstructures, hardness and corrosion behavior of as-cast CoCrFeNiTa(x) alloys. The results indicate that the addition of Ta can change the microstructures of these alloys to dual-phased structures (FCC + HCP), as well as increasing their ha...

Sumario:This paper investigates the effects of Ta content on the microstructures, hardness and corrosion behavior of as-cast CoCrFeNiTa(x) alloys. The results indicate that the addition of Ta can change the microstructures of these alloys to dual-phased structures (FCC + HCP), as well as increasing their hardness. This study uses constant galvanostatic/potentiometric methods to measure the polarization curves of CoCrFeNiTa(0.1), CoCrFeNiTa(0.3) and CoCrFeNiTa(0.5) alloys in deaerated 1 M sodium chloride solution at different temperatures. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is also used to analyze these alloys in sodium chloride solution. The results indicate that the CoCrFeNiTa(0.5) alloy has a eutectic structure and the highest hardness. Furthermore, although the CoCrFeNiTa(0.5) alloy has the best corrosion resistance, the CoCrFeNiTa(0.3) alloy has the best pitting resistance among these alloys.
