Abstract
The corrosion behavior and passive film characteristics of CrMnFeCoNi high entropy alloy (HEA) in HNO3 solution (0.1 M, 1 M, 4 M and 6 M) was investigated. The electrochemical test results demonstrated enhanced corrosion resistance with increasing HNO3 concentration, evidenced by higher corrosion potential, lower passivation current density, and larger impedance modulus value. XPS and finite element analysis confirmed that the improved corrosion resistance in 6 M HNO3 was attributed to a Cr2O3-rich passive film (22.5 %), formed via autocatalytic redox reactions and stabilized by Mn2+ inhibiting Cr(III) oxidation.
