Abstract
We examine the effect of substituting Niobium (Nb), on the glass-forming abilities (GFA), mechanical and corrosion properties of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). BMGs are synthesized using the general formula of (Ni75Mo15Si10)100−xNbx (x = 0, 5, 10 and 15 at.%, labeled as NMSNb0, NMSNb5, NMSNb10 and NMSNb15) that are synthesized using high energy mechanical ball milling technique. Thermal, mechanical, and corrosion properties were enhanced significantly with an increase in Niobium (Nb) content of 10 at.% (NMSNb10). Using XRD analysis, the analysis related to phase attribution and crystallizability is scrutinized. Alloying this BMG with Molybdenum (Mo) and Niobium (Nb) helped avoid embrittlement in the sulphuric acid environment, overcoming strain cracking problems caused during welding, preventing pitting, crevice corrosion, and wet corrosion. Applicability of the present BMG system is examined in light of the correlation between morphology, mechanical, and corrosion studies.
