In this work, Al 0.5 FeCoCrNiMn coating is coated onto the surface of 316 stainless steel by plasma spraying Al 0.5 FeCoCrNiMn powders prepared via mechanical alloying. The phase composition and microstructure of powders and coatings are analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The corrosion resistance of the coatings in 3.5 wt-% NaCl solution is tested with an electrochemical workstation, and the corrosion mechanism of the coating is analysed. The coatings are composed of BCC and FCC phases. The coating exhibits a higher corrosion potential and corrosion current density similar to that of 316 stainless steel. As the immersion time increases, the capacitive arc of the coatings and the charge transfer resistance increase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
