Abstract
CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) with equiatomic ratios was prepared through hot isostatic pressing, followed by a passivation treatment to enhance its corrosion resistance. The corrosion behavior and underlying mechanisms of the passivated alloy in 0.5M H2SO4 were systematically examined. The results demonstrated that passivation effectively removed harmful sulfide inclusions from the alloy surface and facilitated the formation of a protective passive film. Electrochemical tests revealed a decrease in corrosion current density (Icorr = 1.63 × 10−5A·cm−2) and an increase in corrosion potential (Ecorr = -285 mV) following passivation. Grain boundary corrosion was identified as the dominant corrosion type. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that the passivation treatment enhanced the chromium content and reduced the manganese content in the passive film. Additionally, the oxide/hydroxide ratio in the film was increased, improving its protective properties and thereby enhancing the alloy's corrosion resistance.
