Abstract

Abstract Some N-containing or S-containing organic substances and some acetylenic alcohols were tested as inhibitors of the corrosive attack suffered by Fe-based metallic glasses in deaerated 0.1 N sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution at 25°C. It was verified that the specific action these compounds exerted on the corrosion process of the amorphous alloys was similar to the one these compounds exerted on polycrystalline iron. The most efficient substances were those containing a sulfur atom with available lone pairs, which chiefly inhibited the anodic reaction of both metal specimens. Owing to the chemical and physical homogeneity of the amorphous alloy, the chemisorbed inhibitor film that formed on the glassy surface was more stable and protective than that formed on the polycrystalline iron.
