The corrosion behavior of CoCrFeNiMo x alloys was investigated in aqueous environments, NaCl and H 2 SO 4 solutions, respectively, to simulate typical neutral and acidic conditions. The cyclic polarization curves in NaCl and the potentiodynamic curves in H 2 SO 4 clearly reveal the beneficial effects of Mo and the detrimental effect of r-phase on the corrosion resistance. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results of CoCrFeNiMo x alloys in H 2 SO 4 solution indicate that Cr and Mo predominate the corroded surface of the alloys, where Mo primarily exists in the form of MoO 3 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
