摘要
Medium Entropy Alloy AlCuFeMn possesses high room temperature strength and oxidation endurance. In present work, the aqueous corrosion resistance of the as-cast as well as low temperature oxidized AlCuFeMn alloy in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, is explored. Equimolar proportions of high purity copper, manganese, iron, and aluminum were arc melted and cast in a copper mold. The alloy primarily consists of a face-centered cubic and a body-centered cubic phase. Potentiodynamic polarization tests on the alloy after low temperature surface oxidation reveal an aqueous corrosion resistance comparable to AISI 304 steel and CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies confirmed that the free surface in the as-cast alloy is in partially oxidized state. The same completely oxidizes after low-temperature surface oxidation. Such low temperature surface oxidation improves pitting corrosion resistance in AlCuFeMn alloy due to increased metal/oxide layer resistance. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests coupled with microscopy confirmed that the principal corrosion mechanisms in the alloy are of the uniform and pitting type. The energy dispersive spectroscopy experiments indicate that a copper oxide enriched layer is formed on the surface oxidized specimen during corrosion.
