“…The Ti-based HEA experienced selective oxidation because of the high affinity Ti has for oxygen at high temperatures, making the alloying composition oxidize more rapidly than the Cu-based HEA (Guleryuz and Cimenoglu, 2009). The laser parameters also influenced the weight difference of the alloys, increasing with an increase in laser power from 1,400 to 1,600 W. The energy density, which increased from 58.3 J/mm2 to 80 J/mm 2 at 1,400 W to 1,600 W, was adequate to support the thermodynamic formation of solid solution phases that are resistant to thermal decomposition (Fargas et al, 2017). The high amount of Al in both alloys promotes the formation of Al 2 0 3 protective scales showing similarities with stainless steels (Xu et al, 2011;Pint et al, 2007;Brady et al, 2008).…”
