The bidirectional regulation of Ta content on oxidation at 800°C and corrosion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was systematically investigated. Increasing Ta degrades oxidation resistance with higher mass gain, parabolic rate constant <i>K</i><sub><i>p</i></sub>, and thicker oxide layers, owing to the deteriorated oxide structure, diluted Cr-based protective film, and accelerated ionic diffusion through the Laves phase. Conversely, Ta markedly improves corrosion resistance by raising the corrosion potential and reducing the corrosion current density, due to the formation of a dense Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> passive film, which repairs structural defects and resists the attack of chloride ions. This work clarifies the underlying bidirectional regulation mechanisms and provides guidance for the composition design of HEAs applied in extreme environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18225,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Corrosion-werkstoffe Und Korrosion","volume":"77 10","pages":"1622-1631"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analytical models were developed to simulate the ER sensor response to various geometries of localized attacks.

The comparison revealed a strong correlation between the models and experimental measurements, highlighting a critical limitation of the resistometric method: ER sensors severely underestimate the actual depth of localized attacks. Specifically, models demonstrate that for a localized attack covering less than 5% of the sensor's measuring area, a defect consuming 80% of the initial thickness yields an apparent overall sensor reading of merely 20% thickness loss. Furthermore, under practical NaCl exposure scenarios, actual pit depths reaching 50 µm resulted in sensor readings of only 11 µm.
