【 摘 要 】

The paper presents results on the corrosion behavior of high entropy alloys, commonly called BIOHEA in human physiological simulating media, respectively in the NaCl infusion solution and Ringer's lactate infusion solution. Corrosion tests were performed by potendiodinamic test using AUTOLAB type potentiostat equipped with specialized corrosion software including the PGSTAT302N, BA and SCAN250 modules. Three entropy alloy systems were investigated: FeTa0.5Nb0.5Ti1.5Zr0.5 (BIOHEA 1), FeMnNb0.5TiZr0.5 (BIOHEA 3), FeTa0.5Nb0.5TiZr0.5 (BIOHEA 4), and BIOHEA alloy 2 was obtained by remelting BIOHEA 1. A comparison of the results obtained in the present tests and the data from the literature shows, on the one hand, that the global results can be compared with the different results from the literature, and, on the other hand, the results are new, in the sense that in any work there are no combinations of alloys studied here or human simulating medians used for testing. The conclusion of the experimental investigations in the present paper is the fact that regardless of the simulation test environment, all the alloys experimental alloys have similar behaviors, there is a difference between the chemical composition of the experimental alloy and the displacement of the corrosion potential values at electropositive values, decreasing of corrosion current, and corrosion rates. The experimental results allow the corrosion resistance of the investigated alloys, alloy BIOHEA 2 having the best corrosion behavior in both test media, with very low corrosion rates (respectivelly 0.067 μm/year in NaCl infusion solution, and 0.021 μm / year in Ringer's lactate infusion solution).
