Abstract

High entropy alloys (HEAs) have received tremendous attention in different applications because of their excellent corrosion resistance and superior mechanical properties. In the present work, a novel TiNbMoMnFe high entropy alloy system was synthesized and deposited on AISI 316L by DC magnetron sputtering system. The microstructure of the resulting thin film was evaluated by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and field emission electron microscope. It was found that the thin film microstructure is composed of a crystalline solid solution (grain size of 76 nm) and an amorphous phase. The electrochemical investigations in Ringer’s solution revealed that a thin film of 670 nm thick high entropy alloy has a low corrosion current density of 0.024 μA cm−2, approximately 30% lower than that of the uncoated 316L. Meanwhile, the HEA thin film showed the highest pitting corrosion resistance and stability of the passive film. The wettability examinations exhibited that the coated sample has a high contact angle of 90° in contrast to 60° for the uncoated ones. In summary, the TiNbMoMnFe high entropy alloy thin film shows great potential for use in biomaterial applications.
