Abstract
This study aims to determine the optimal Mo content for corrosion resistance in two alloys, FeCoCrNiMox and Fe0.5CoCrNiMox. The alloys were fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology with varying Mo contents (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15). The corrosion behavior of these alloys was investigated in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution at room temperature and 60 °C using electrochemical testing and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that all alloys exhibit good corrosion resistance at room temperature. However, at 60 °C, both alloys without Mo addition exhibit severe corrosion, while the Fe0.5CoCrNiMo0.1 alloy demonstrates the best corrosion resistance while maintaining the highest strength. The enhanced corrosion resistance is attributed to the optimal molybdenum addition, which refines the passive film structure and promotes the formation of Cr2O3. Furthermore, molybdenum oxide exists as MoO42- ions on the surface of the passive film, significantly improving the alloy's corrosion resistance in chloride-containing environments.
期刊介绍:
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
