Crystallization And Electrochemical Corrosion Behaviors Of Amorphous And Nanocrystalline Fe-Based Alloys, Xiang Li, Biao Yan, Peng Dong

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this study,amorphous Fe78Si13B9 and Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 ribbons were prepared by the chill block melt-spinning process and nanocrystalline Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 ribbons were obtained by annealing. The amorphous ribbons and their crystallization processes were identified by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A comparative study of the electrochemical corrosion behaviors of Fe78Si13B9 and Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 amorphous and nanocrystallized alloys was performed by linear polarization method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 1mol/L NaOH solutions. The photographs of the samples after potentiodynamic polarization were observed by SEM. The influence of heat treatment on the alloys structure and corrosion resistance in 1mol/L NaOH solutions …
