The effects of Sn added in CoCrFeNiSnx (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1) high entropy alloy on the corrosion behaviors in 3.5 wt.% NaCl aeration aqueous solution and the mechanical properties have been investigation. During the dynamic polarization tests, the metal ion concentrations at several applied potentials were detected by ICP-MS for the performance of corrosion resistance. The surface morphology and the composition of each phase before and after corrosion tests were observed and analyzed by SEM/EDS. The related crystal structure of each phase was further investigated by TEM and XRD. The as-cast specimen after annealed at 1050℃ for 48 h has revealed the only one phase of FCC CoCrFeNiSnz at x ≦ 0.05, while the second phase of orthorhombic Ni(3-y)(CoCrFe)ySn2 high entropy intermetallic compound has been found increasing with x increasing at x ≧ 0.1, also leading to the increasing hardness. Meanwhile, the content of Ni decreases and those of Cr and Fe increases with x increasing in FCC CoCrFeNiSnz matrix. Since the pitting always happens and proceeds on the FCC phase area and the Ksp of Ni(OH)2 is much greater than those of Cr(OH)3, Fe(OH)2 and SnO2, the corrosion resistance also increase with the increasing content of Sn. Due to the high contents of Cr, Fe and Co existing in Ni(3-y)(CoCrFe)ySn2, the smaller sized particles of CoCrFeNiSnz FCC and Cr-Fe-Co rich BCC phases further precipitate after annealed. On the other hand, the supersaturated Sn content in the original FCC CoCrFeNiSnz is forced to precipitate the finer orthorhombic Ni(3-y)(CoCrFe)ySn2 particles. Besides, both lattice parameters of FCC and orthorhombic phases increase with the content of Sn increasing. The passivation films composed of hydroxyl mono-layers on CoCrFeNiSnz and Ni(3-y)(CoCrFe)ySn2 are also simulated by the first principle based on density function theory for corresponding to corrosion behaviors.
