Abstract

The structure and thermal property of Zr-based amorphous alloys Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5(Vit1) and Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5(Zr55) were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The electrochemical behavior of two Zr-based amorphous alloys and two traditional metal alloys (304 stainless steel and 6082 Al-alloy) in 3.5%NaCl and simulated seawater solution were comparatively assessed via electrochemical workstation, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS). The results show that the four metallic alloys present pitting corrosion, but the amorphous alloys show higher corrosion resistance. Tacking the polarization curves aquired in 3.5%NaCl solution as comparison, it follows that the polarization curves of amorphous alloys and conventional alloys in the simulated seawater showed negative shift, which was attributed to the large amount of sulfate and chloride dissolved in the simulated seawater. Compared to the traditional metallic alloys, the passive film formed on the surface of amorphous alloys is more stable.

Key words: amorphous alloy electrochemical simulated seawater corrosion resistance
