Abstract

In this review study, the corrosion behaviours of Fe, Cu, Mg, and Cr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were comprehensively examined. Experimental studies and electrochemical test data from the literature were evaluated to compare different BMG systems in terms of production methods, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. Investigations reveal that metallic glasses, due to their amorphous structure, exhibit superior corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength compared to conventional metals. It was observed that Fe-based BMGs show reduced corrosion resistance in low pH environments, Cu-based BMGs improve their corrosion resistance after high-pressure forming, Mg-based BMGs are promising candidates for biomedical applications, and Cr-based BMGs maintain high performance in highly corrosive environments. Furthermore, a direct relationship between glass-forming ability and corrosion resistance was identified. The findings provide key criteria for designers to consider when selecting BMGs for various application areas.

Fe, Cu, Mg, Cr Bazlı Metalik Camların Korozyon Davranışlarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu derleme çalışmasında, Fe, Cu, Mg ve Cr bazlı bulk metalik camların (BMG) korozyon davranışları kapsamlı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Literatürde yer alan deneysel çalışmalar ve elektrokimyasal test verileri değerlendirilerek farklı BMG sistemlerinin üretim yöntemleri, mekanik özellikleri ve korozyon dirençleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırmalar, metalik camların sahip olduğu amorf yapı nedeniyle geleneksel metallere kıyasla üstün korozyon direnci ve yüksek mekanik dayanım gösterdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Özellikle Fe bazlı BMG'lerin düşük pH ortamlarında korozyon direncinde düşme gösterdiği, Cu bazlı BMG'lerin yüksek basınç altında şekillendirme sonrası korozyon direncinin arttığı, Mg bazlı BMG'lerin biyomalzeme uygulamalarına uygun olduğu ve Cr bazlı BMG'lerin korozif ortamlarda yüksek performans sergilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca cam yapabilme kabiliyeti ile korozyon dayanımı arasında doğrudan bir ilişki olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, tasarımcıların farklı kullanım alanları için BMG seçimi yaparken dikkate alabilecekleri temel kriterleri ortaya koymaktadır.
