description In this work, the corrosion performance of a new developed high-entropy alloy (HEA) of the composition Al<sub>10</sub>Cr<sub>30</sub>Fe<sub>25</sub>Mn<sub>30</sub>Ti<sub>5</sub> (at. %) was studied. The corrosion testing of the Al<sub>10</sub>Cr<sub>30</sub>Fe<sub>25</sub>Mn<sub>30</sub>Ti<sub>5</sub> HEA was carried out in 2.5 M NaOH, 0.6 M NaCl, and in 0.5 M H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>. The correlation between the microstructure, elemental composition, density, hardness, and corrosion resistance of the new developed Al<sub>10</sub>Cr<sub>30</sub>Fe<sub>25</sub>Mn<sub>30</sub>Ti<sub>5</sub> HEA was investigated. The impedance response showed protective corrosion behavior for the neutral and acidic pH, while the alkaline environment led to a passivity breakdown due to dissolution of Al forming Al(OH)<sub>3</sub>. The outcome of the presented study suggests that new developed HEA is suitable to be used in industrial environments with a neutral and acidic pH.
