Abstract
The corrosion behavior of a Zirconium-based bulk metallic glass subjected to friction stir processing was evaluated. Processing was done at the tool rotational speeds of 300 rpm, 500 rpm and 900 rpm. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies were carried out in 0.1 M NaCl solution. A strong correlation was found between the corrosion rate and enthalpy of structural relaxation, which is a measure of free volume. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements showed lower polarization resistance for processed samples as compared to as-cast metallic glass which is consistent with the \DC\ polarization results. Shear bands in processed specimens were found to be preferred nucleation sites for the formation of corrosion pits. In contrast, pitting was more stochastic for the as-cast metallic glass.
