Abstract

The electrochemical reactivity of the high entropy Cantor alloy (CoCrFeMnNi) was investigated via potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and surface analysis as a function of chloride content, in sulfuric acid solutions. The results revealed that corrosion mechanism of the CoCrFeMnNi alloy at the corrosion potential, is a two-step mechanism, involving one adsorbed intermediate, similar to that of pure iron in the H2SO4, and this model provided a good description of the impedance data. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) surface characterization and impedance data fitting revealed that chloride ions do not alter the corrosion mechanism or the thickness of the surface oxide film. Instead, they affect the corrosion resistance by changing the composition of the oxide film. Additionally, this work demonstrated that the corrosion mechanism of the CoCrFeMnNi alloy varies with the applied potential, as evidenced by impedance measurements under potentiostatic polarization. Surface observations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and XPS analysis provided insights into the morphology and composition of the surface oxide film at different applied potentials, explaining the observed changes in impedance.
