Abstract

The effects of nanosecond pulsed laser processing (NPLP) on the surface morphology, microstructure, and corrosion resistance properties of Fe-based metallic glass coating were investigated. It was found that after pulsed laser processing, the metallic glass coating retained its amorphous structure; however, cracks were generated on the top of the coating. The thickness of the remelted zone reached about 30 μm, and the microstructure became denser after the remelting process. In addition, most of the original defects in the coating disappeared. The corrosion resistance of Fe-based metallic glass coating after NPLP was increased in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution.
