Abstract

The corrosion behavior of (Ti90Ru10)87Si13, a new metallic glass prepared by splat cooling in an arc furnace, is studied in 0.5 M NaCl and in artificial seawater using linear polarization resistance, ac impedance and small amplitude cyclic voltammetric measurements.

ChemInform Abstract

The corrosion behavior of (Ti90Ru10)87Si13, a new metallic glass prepared by splat cooling in an arc furnace, is studied in 0.5 M NaCl and in artificial seawater using linear polarization resistance, ac impedance and small amplitude cyclic voltammetric measurements. The results show that the alloy is quite resistant to corrosion in saline solutions saturated with oxygen, the rate of corrosion in seawater being slightly faster than in NaCl solution.
