Abstract

The work presents a structural and corrosion resistance analysis of Mg-based bulk metallic glasses in “as-cast” state. The studies were performed on bulk glassy samples in the form of plates. The structure analysis of the samples was carried out by the XRD and DSC methods. The corrosion behavior of the bulk glassy alloys and pure magnesium samples was studied by electrochemical measurements and immersion tests in 5% NaCl solution at room temperature. For the amorphous alloys the highest corrosion potential was achieved, indicating the formation of protective surface layers with Mg and Cu oxides. The corrosion behavior of the alloys with Zn and Ni addition was found to be better than pure magnesium.
