Improvement of corrosion resistance by randomization of Fe-4 at% Cr-10 at% Si-15 at% B alloy glass

Abstract

The present study has been initiated to observe the effect of randomization on a passivity-maintaining current density (I_p) in anodic polarization curve in a liquid-quenched Fe-4 at% Cr-10 at% Si-15 at% B alloy glass. The randomization decreases both a passivity current density and passivity-maintaining current density, thus improving the corrosion resistance of the glassy alloy.
