Effect of tension on corrosive and thermal properties of Cu60Zr30Ti10 metallic glass

► The tension decreases the activation energies of Cu60Zr30Ti10 metallic glass. ► The tension results in the increase of the corrosion potential in 0.5 M H2SO4. ► The tension results in the decrease of the corrosion potential in 1 M chloride-ion solution. ► The tension results in the decrease of the passive potential in 0.5 M H2SO4. ► The corroded surface micrographs are changed by the tension.
