Transformation, stability and Pourbaix diagrams of high performance corrosion resistant (HPCRM) alloys

Explicit descriptions of phase stability, transformation kinetics and corrosion behavior to predict and guide synthesis and application of amorphous iron alloys have been developed by coupling computational thermodynamics and databases derived from experimental studies. These studies provided measurements and observations made during extensive studies of synthesis, fabrication and analysis of iron alloy glasses. The salient results of this development for the most attractive alloys of this group of materials are presented below.
