Abstract:

The goal of the HEASYNTCORR project is the development of a new

technology for the electrochemical synthesis of high-entropy alloys

(HEAs) coatings with superior corrosion resistance and mechanical

characteristics, for applications in marine environments. The HEA thin

films will be electrodeposited on copper and steel, for the protection of

ship propellers and propeller shafts against galvanic corrosion,

cavitation erosion and wear. By the project implementation, the

electroplated parts obtained will present an extended lifetime, at

lower fabrication costs than the current repair technologies. The

project will start from the technology readiness level 2 (TRL2) and end

with the demonstration model of the new technology validated at

laboratory level (TRL4). The HEA coatings will be obtained by

electrochemical codeposition of the component elements in

non-aqueous electrolytes, using various complexing agents. The

obtained thin films will be physical, structural, tribological and

mechanical characterized. The corrosion tests will be done in the

operational environment (sea water). The thin films properties will be

improved by heat treatment process. The main project objectives are:

1. Electrochemical studies. Selection of HEA compositions and

electrolyte systems. 2. Establishing of the technological parameters

for the synthesis of HEA thin films. 3. HEA thin films complex

characterization. 4. Technology validation.5. Patent application.

Dissemination. The novelty of the project consist in: a. HEA thin films

obtaining by electrodeposition b. fundamental electrochemical studies

of the electrolytes-HEA systems; c. systematic study of the process
