Electrochemical behavior of Ca-based bulk metallic glasses

Since 2002, numerous Ca-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys have been discovered. These BMG alloys are of interest because of their low densities and costs; however, few studies have examined the properties of these novel materials. In this study, the thermophysical and electrochemical behavior o...

Summary:Since 2002, numerous Ca-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys have been discovered. These BMG alloys are of interest because of their low densities and costs; however, few studies have examined the properties of these novel materials. In this study, the thermophysical and electrochemical behavior of three Ca-based BMGs was examined and compared to a crystalline, Mg-based alloy. Cyclic-anodic polarization tests were conducted in a 0.05 M Na^sub 2^SO^sub 4^ electrolyte, and posttest analyses by scanning electron microscopy were conducted to assess the damage to the exposed surfaces.
