Abstract

Surfaces of bulk glassy Zr59Ti3Cu20Al10Ni8 samples were shot-peened for different times and their corrosion behaviour was tested in 0.01 M Na2SO4 + xM NaCl (x = 0; 0.01; 0.1) and 6 M HCl. Slight improvement of spontaneous passivity but a decrease of pitting resistance are detected with prolonged shot-peening duration. The corrosion damage evolution is governed by the nature of the mechanically generated defects and their surrounding stress fields.
