Comparison of the corrosion and passivity behavior between CrMnFeCoNi and CrFeCoNi coatings prepared by argon arc cladding

The corrosion behavior and passive film properties of CrMnFeCoNi and CrFeCoNi coatings in 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 solution were investigated by potentiodynamic and potentiostatic measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Mott-Schottky tests. The chemical compositions of passive film were char...

Description
Summary:The corrosion behavior and passive film properties of CrMnFeCoNi and CrFeCoNi coatings in 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 solution were investigated by potentiodynamic and potentiostatic measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Mott-Schottky tests. The chemical compositions of passive film were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results indicated that CrFeCoNi coating possessed lower passive current density, higher polarization resistance, lower donor and acceptor density compared with CrMnFeCoNi coating, which determined CrFeCoNi coating has higher corrosion resistance than CrMnFeCoNi coating. The excellent resistance to corrosion could be attributed to the structure and chemical compositions of passive film
