摘要

Owing to their unique short-or medium-range ordered microstructures and excellent mechanical,physical,and chemical properties,amorphous alloys have attracted significant interest in recent years.For the application of amorphous alloys,clarifying their oxidation processes and mechanisms is necessary since many of the surface-related properties of amorphous alloys largely depend on the surface oxide layer.The aim of this paper is to review the recent research on the thermal oxidation behaviors of amorphous alloys under pure oxygen or air condition.The contents are divided into three categories according to the number of components the research considers,i.e.,the oxidation of binary,ternary,and multi-component (＞3) amorphous alloys.Each section discusses the thermal stability of the amorphous matrix,oxidation kinetics,and the oxide layer and amorphous substrate,which are strongly affected by internal factors(i.e.,alloy elements and microstructure) and external factors (i.e.,oxidation temperature,duration,and oxygen partial pressure,etc.).The general features of the oxidation of amorphous alloys-from simple binary to complex multi-component amorphous alloys-will be summarized.This overview of the current scientific understanding on the fundamentals of these materials may provide guidelines for the development of strongly corrosion-resistant amorphous alloys.
