Electrochemical Corrosion Behaviors of CuZrHfTi Bulk Metallic Glasses in NaOH Solution

Abstract:

The electrochemical corrosion behaviors of Cu60Zr30-xHfxTi10(x=10,15,20) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were investigated in 3 mol/L NaOH solution by potentiodynamic polarization experiments and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the BMGs had sufficient corrosion resistance in NaOH solution. The anodic showed grading passivation character, and the passivation current density were very low. The corrosion resistance changed with Hf content changing. The passivation current density of Cu60Zr15Hf15Ti10 alloy was lowest and the charge transfer resistance was largest, which means the best corrosion resistance for CuZrHfTi BMGs. Corrosion mechanisms were not changed, while the corrosion resistance decrease after crystallized for the BMGs.
