ABSTRACTThe passive film stability of several Fe-based amorphous metal formulations have been found to be comparable to that of high-performance Ni-based alloys, and superior to that of stainless steels, based on electrochemical measurements of the passive film breakdown potential and general corrosion rates. Chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) provide corrosion resistance; boron (B) enables glass formation; and rare earths such as yttrium (Y) lower critical cooling rate (CCR). The high boron content of this particular amorphous metal also makes it an effective neutron absorber, and suitable for criticality control applications, as discussed in companion publications. Corrosion data for SAM2X5 (Fe49.7Cr17.7Mn1.9Mo7.4W1.6B15.2C3.8Si2.4) is discussed here.

The corrosion behaviors of ultrapure ferritic stainless steels in simulated urban refuse leachate were investigated by means of different measurement methods including steady-state polarization curves, potentiostatic open-circuit relaxation curves and scanning electronic microscope. The results show that the ultrapure ferritic stainless steel 443, 444 and the austentic stainless steel 304 maintained good passive state after being immersed in the simulated leachate for 720h. The descending order of pitting resistance is 444>443>304. According to the passive film equivalent resistance Rp and the interface capacitance Cd obtained by fitting the potentiostatic open-circuit relaxation curves, the descending order of passive film stability is also 444>443>304.
