The Stability of Amorphous Metals in Corrosive Environments

这项研究考察了金属玻璃的耐腐蚀性。非晶态合金的一般和局部点蚀正在研究中，外加应力、电极电位和环境的相关影响。影响稳定惰性膜形成的因素将着重于过渡金属-类金属合金系统，特别是添加了磷或硼的类金属铬，以及铁-钕-硼类型的磁性合金。这项研究提供了有关非晶态金属合金钝化性质的必要信息，以及利用各种类型的非晶态薄膜来提高材料耐腐蚀性的未来潜力。

This research examines the corrosion resistance of metallic glasses. General and localized pitting corrosion in amorphous alloys is under study with the imposed associated effects of applied stress, electrode potential, and environment. Factors influencing the formation of stable, inert films will be determined with emphasis on the transition metal-metalloid alloy systems, especially chromium, with metalloid additions of phosphorous or boron, and magnetic alloys of the iron-neodymium- boron type. This research provides needed information on the nature of passivity in amorphous metal alloys and on the future potential for employing various types of amorphous films to improve corrosion resistance of materials.
