All of the (CoCrFeNi)100\u2212xMox alloys exhibit a single face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution. However, the (CoCrFeNi)97Mo3 alloy exhibits an ordered sigma (\u03c3) phase enriched in Cr and Mo. With the increase of x (the Mo content) from 1 to 3, the hardness of the (CoCrFeNi)100\u2212xMox alloys increases from 124.8 to 133.6 Vickers hardness (HV), and the compressive yield strength increases from 113.6 MPa to 141.1 MPa, without fracture under about a 60% compressive strain. The potentiodynamic polarization curve in a 3.5% NaCl solution indicates that the addition of Mo has a beneficial effect on the corrosion resistance to some certain extent, opposed to the \u03c3 phase. Furthermore, the alloys tend to form a passivation film in the 0.5 M H2SO4 solution in order to inhibit the progress of the corrosion reaction as the Mo content increases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e20120908","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,28]],"date-time":"2018-11-28T11:43:44Z","timestamp":1543405424000},"page":"908","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":73,"title":["Effect of Molybdenum Additives on Corrosion Behavior of (CoCrFeNi)100\u2212xMox High-Entropy Alloys"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Wenrui","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8915-2400","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jieqian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Honggang","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wu","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8281-8636","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qing","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4880","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-018-07102-3","article-title":"Shockwave generates <100> dislocation loops in bcc iron","volume":"9","author":"Peng","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat.
