Effects of W Addition on the Electrochemical Behaviour and Passive Film Properties of Fe-Based Amorphous Alloys in Acetic Acid Solution

  • Published:
Acta Metallurgica Sinica (English Letters) Aims and scope

Abstract

The electrochemical behaviour and passive film properties of Fe–Cr–Mo–W–C–B–Y amorphous alloys in acetic acid solution were investigated. The potentiodynamic polarisation and Nyquist curves demonstrated that W addition significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance. Mott–Schottky plots and angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectra indicated that passive films with different W contents exhibited dipolar (p–n) semiconducting characteristics separated by flat-band potentials. The outer and inner oxide layers of the passive films were modified by reducing the acceptor and donor densities. Moreover, W addition favoured the formation of a thicker and more stable passive film to inhibit the dissolution of alloy elements.
