Electrochemical behaviour of Ni-Co amorphous alloys in alkaline solutions
The dissolution processes of amorphous G15 (Ni₅₈Co₂₀B₁₂Si₁₀) and G16 (Ni₂₅Co₅₀B₁₀Si₁₅) alloys in carbonate-bicarbonate buffers (8.9 ≤ pH ≤ 10.5) have been studied using voltammetry and stationary polarization techniques combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spe...

| Sumario: | The dissolution processes of amorphous G15 (Ni₅₈Co₂₀B₁₂Si₁₀) and G16 (Ni₂₅Co₅₀B₁₀Si₁₅) alloys in carbonate-bicarbonate buffers (8.9 ≤ pH ≤ 10.5) have been studied using voltammetry and stationary polarization techniques combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. Results indicate that the electrochemical processes are dependent on the applied potential, the alloy composition, and the pH and ionic strength of the electrolyte. An enhancement of the corrosion processes is observed when the pH and the ionic strength are increased and when the Co content of the alloy diminishes. Furthermore, XPS provided information about the composition of the surface layer. |
