Zusammenfassung:We investigate the corrosion behavior on the microstructure of CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy thin film potentiodynamic alloys electrodeposited on aluminum support. Using electrolytes based on dimethyformamide (DMF), (HCON(CH₃)₂), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, (CH3)2SO), an acetonitrile (AN, CH3CN) organic system (4:1 vol. ratio), LiClO4 in different concentrations and CoCl2, CrCl3 × 6H2O, FeCl2 × 4H2O, MnCl2 × 4H2O and NiCl2 × 6H2O in different conditions, the HEA components were co-deposited on an aluminum foil substrate. Using the CALPHAD method and the MatCalc PC software, the structure of the HEA system under study was investigated by calculating the characteristic kinetic and thermodynamic criteria. The influence of each metal from HEA inside the solid solution zone and over the formation of the solid solution phase were obtained from the ratio between the derived parameters. The electrochemical measurements, which demonstrate that on an aluminum support the HEA thin films have lower corrosion resistance, were performed at ambient temperature in an aerated artificial solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to investigate the microstructure of HEA thin films before and after corrosion in artificial seawater. This complex study demonstrates that the electrodeposition of HEA thin films on an aluminum support is more difficult and that the resistance to corrosion is much lower compared to that in the previous work on HEA deposits on a copper support.
