Despite the economy of material cost and excellent toughness of Cu-based amorphous alloys,especially Cu5oZr5o,their poor corrosion resistance to a chloride medium limits their widespread applications.In this study,corrosion tests were performed on the Cu5oZr50 amorphous alloy with different degrees of short-range order,which were prepared by annealing below the glass transition temperature (Tg).It was found that the corrosion resistance of amorphous alloys is improved to a significant level when the alloys were heated below Tg.Calorimetric studies showed that thermally activated relaxation process of created disorder,which occurs during sub-Tg annealing,is responsible for the improvement in the corrosion resistance.Molecular dynamics simulations performed on the Cu-Zr amorphous alloys demonstrated that the relaxation process of the alloys is associated with the formation of energetically stable icosahedra and icosahedron-like structures.Our study highlights the effects of sub-Tg annealing on the improvement in the corrosion resistance of the amorphous alloys from the viewpoint the relaxation process of the short-range orders.
