Abstract Scope |
Selecting materials with the best combination of properties can save money and even lives during application, so understanding the corrosion susceptibility of new materials is paramount. Unfortunately, corrosion susceptibility of multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) remains highly underexplored. This presentation will discuss the development of a high throughput experimental method to study the composition specific corrosion properties of thin film MPEA libraries and correlate those properties to bulk alloys. The presentation will highlight the economical and robust method for repeatable film study and show that corrosion susceptibility of thin films can be extrapolated to bulk performance. Off-the-shelf 3d printing and standard electrochemical techniques will be combined with imaging and compositional analysis to gather results. The results of this study will further confirm whether the MPEA design ethos changes our understanding of compositional dependent corrosion performance. |
