Abstract
The heterostructure design has been extensively utilized in eutectic high entropy alloys (EHEAs) to further improve their comprehensive mechanical properties. Nevertheless, the impact of heterostructure construction on the corrosion resistance of EHEAs remains unclear. In this study, the corrosion behavior of a multi-level heterogeneous lamellar structure (MHLS) EHEA was studied, and the effect of heterostructure design on the corrosion mechanism of the alloy was clarified. The results showed that the MHLS EHEA exhibited significantly improved corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution compared to the as-cast EHEA. The enhanced performance was attributed to a more compact, chemically stable passive film with higher concentrations of corrosion-resistant elements and higher content of corrosion resistant oxides. These attributes arise from the numerous structural defects and the precipitation of fine FeCr-rich FCC phases within the B2 lamellae. The findings of the current work will provide a theoretical basis for the development and design of EHEAs with excellent strength-ductility matching ability and superior corrosion resistance.
