Experimental study on microstructural and corrosion behaviors of friction stir processed steel with CoCrFeCuTi HEA reinforcement and effect of annealing
Source abstract
Abstract
The ability to perform against extreme corrosion environments in stainless steel depreciates under challenging conditions in industrial applications. This can be resolved by employing surface modification techniques to modify the surface with the required characteristics. The present study investigates the outcomes of friction stir processing of SS304 with CoCrFeCuTi high entropy alloy (HEA) as reinforcement and the property enhancements post-annealing. The synthesized CoCrFeCuTi HEA exhibited irregular fragments with 17 µm mean particle size and body centred cubic (BCC) phase. The microstructure of the processed surface revealed ultra-refined grains with a uniform distribution of HEA filler. The microstructures of the samples annealed at 400°C, 550°C, 700°C and 850°C for 2 h also showed significant grain growth and grain refinements. The processed sample with HEA reinforcement annealed at 700°C exhibited enhanced microhardness and tensile strength by 63% and 0.88 times than that of the processed sample with HEA pre-annealing. The subsequent electrochemical corrosion test displayed better corrosion resistance for the HEA-processed and annealed sample. Hot corrosion tests at 900°C showcased excellent resistance for the HEA processed and annealed samples by 14.92%, 12.75%, and 14.83% against the samples pre-annealed under three different salt mixtures, and the corroded surface was analyzed.
