Abstract The electrochemical corrosion behaviors of two multiphase alloys representing waste forms made with 316 L stainless steel and different amounts of surrogate metallic fuel wastes were measured and related to the microstructures. Potentiodynamic (PD) scans were performed in an acid brine solution and the corroded surfaces were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to compare the electrochemical responses to the corrosion of specific phases. PD scans for the two multiphase alloys, 316 L stainless steel, and pure palladium were compared to understand the complex corrosion behavior of these multiphase alloys also recently classified as multi principle element alloys (MPEAs) and to determine the effects of alloying elements and noble metals present in constituent phases on the corrosion behavior.
