The effect of Y and B content tailoring on the crystallization behavior and corrosion resistance of Fe76-2xY4+xB20+x(x=0 and 2) glassy alloys have been investigated. The tailoring of yttrium and born content enhances the thermal stability of x=2 alloy, alters the crystalline mode from a two-stage of x=0 glassy alloy to a three-stage of x=2 glassy alloy. Crystallization deteriorates the corrosion resistance of x=2 glassy alloy in alkaline solution. With increase annealing time from 5 to 30 min, the corrosion potential and its corresponding lattice constant of α-Fe phase of x=2 alloy show a similar change, the result is related to the change of solute atom composition in α-Fe grain in the local galvanic cell reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
