Abstrakt: In this work, heat treatment of three different temperatures (600 °C, 800 °C, and 1000 °C) was applied to as-cast Al0.75CoCr1.25FeNi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) to investigate the influence of heat treatment on their corrosion properties. Open circuit potential (OCP) and cyclic polarization tests reveal that the 1000 °C heat-treated HEA possesses excellent corrosion resistance, as indicated by the low corrosion tendency and corrosion current density. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiostatic polarization analyses imply the presence of a superior passive film on the 1000 °C heat-treated HEA. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis demonstrates that the passive film formed on the 1000 °C heat-treated HEA during potentiostatic polarization tests is most corrosion-resistant since it possesses the highest ratio of Al2O3/Al(OH)3 and Cr2O3/Cr(OH)3.
