Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the electrochemical properties of the Co1.5CrFeNi1.5Ti0.5Mox high-entropy alloys in three aqueous environments which simulate acidic, marine, and basic environments at ambient temperature (∼25 °C). The potentiodynamic polarisation curves of the Co1.5CrFeNi1.5Ti0.5Mox alloys, obtained in aqueous solutions of H2SO4 and NaOH, clearly revealed that the corrosion resistance of the Mo-free alloy was superior to that of the Mo-containing alloys. On the other hand, the lack of hysteresis in cyclic polarisation tests and SEM micrographs confirmed that the Mo-containing alloys are not susceptible to pitting corrosion in NaCl solution.
