Cylindrical amorphous Ni–15Cr–10Mo–16P–4B and Ni–(10 and 15)Cr–5Ta–16P–4B alloys of 1 and 2mm in diameter have been obtained by a copper mould casting method. These amorphous alloys are spontaneously passive in 6M HCl at 303K, and the corrosion resistance of the bulk alloys of 1mm diameter in 6M HCl at 303K is as high as that of the rapidly quenched alloy ribbons with the same composition. However, potentiodynamic polarization reveals that the corrosion rate of the Ni–10Cr–5Ta–16P–4B alloy of 2mm diameter is about three times higher than that of the alloy of 1mm diameter, though both sizes of the specimens are identified to be amorphous from X-ray diffraction patterns. The further detailed structural analysis using high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicates the presence of fcc nickel precipitates, 2–3nm size, in the amorphous matrix only for the specimen of 2mm diameter. The Ni–15Cr–10Mo–16P–4B alloy of 2mm diameter contains larger precipitates, about 20nm size, of fcc nickel, showing about two orders of magnitude higher anodic current density than the amorphous single phase alloy of 1mm diameter. Thus, the precipitation of a nanocrystalline nickel phase, which actively dissolves in 6M HCl, is detrimental to the corrosion resistance of the amorphous Ni–Cr–(Mo or Ta)–P–B alloys, although the smaller size of the precipitates is less detrimental.
