Investigating the susceptibility of Fe39Mn20Co20Cr15Si5Al1 high entropy alloy to stress corrosion cracking in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl environment
Source abstract
Abstract
This study examines the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of the Fe 39Mn 20Co 20Cr 15Si 5Al 1 (at.%) high entropy alloy in a salt solution at room temperature. The research employs slow strain-rate tensile tests and advanced analytical techniques, such as electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), to understand the SCC behavior. Results show that the alloy has a high susceptibility to SCC. The TEM analysis supports a slip-step dissolution model for SCC. The EBSD results suggest that cracks form at boundaries between martensite and austenite phases and propagate through interphase and inter-variant boundaries. Reducing such boundaries may mitigate the alloy`s SCC susceptibility.
