摘要

The anti-corrosion property of FeCoNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA) in simulated seawater under the influences of various Na2S2O3 concentrations and direct current (DC) densities was systematically investigated through a series of measurements. The results indicate that the corrosion resistance of the MEA deteriorates with increasing S2O32− content, which is mainly reflected by an elevated icorr, a reduced Rf, and enhanced susceptibility to pitting corrosion. S2O32− impairs the integrity and protective capability of surface passivation film, thereby facilitating the MEA corrosion. Upon the imposition of DC interference, abundant H⁺ ions are generated and adsorbed onto the surface film, which markedly degrades its protection, inducing the active corrosion of the MEA. Therefore, the combined action of DC and S2O32− severely reduces the corrosion resistance of the MEA, resulting in an aggravated corrosion level.
