Preliminary Investigation on the Corrosion Behavior of Amorphous (Ti\u3csub\u3e90\u3c/sub\u3eRu\u3csub\u3e10\u3c/sub\u3e)\u3csub\u3e87\u3c/sub\u3eSi\u3csub\u3e13\u3c/sub\u3e in Saline Solutions

Amorphous alloys also known as metallic glasses appear to have unique corrosion resistant properties. The corrosion characteristics of a (Ti90Ru10)87Si13 alloy have been measured in 0.5 M NaCl and in artificial seawater (ASW) by linear polarization resistance, ac impedance and small amplitude cyclic voltammetry (SACV). Results show a low corrosion rate of the alloy in these media, with the rate of corrosion in seawater slightly faster than the rate of corrosion in sodium chloride
