A low-cost, low-density, and corrosion resistant AlFeMnSi compositionally complex alloy

Abstract A compositionally complex alloy was designed, consisting of equiatomic concentrations of four low-cost commodity elements (Al, Fe, Mn, and Si). The alloy was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The corrosion of the AlFeMnSi alloy, as ev...
