Abstract

The corrosion behaviors of selective laser melted (SLMed) FeCoCrNi multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) with carbon or nitrogen addition in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution were investigated. Both C and N addition refined the grains and introduced a heterogeneous structure in SLMed FeCoCrNi MPEA, but they had opposite effects on the corrosion behavior. The doped carbon participated as nano-sized carbides in SLMed MPEA, and localized galvanic corrosion occurred, degrading the corrosion resistance. The doped nitrogen was gathered with chromium and formed CrN chemical clusters in SLMed MPEA, and a protective passive film with a higher Cr2O3/Cr(OH)3 ratio formed, which improved corrosion resistance.
