A corrosion-resistant amorphous alloy containing Ta in an amount of from 10 to 40 atomic % and Mo, Cr, W, P, B and/or Si is disclosed. This alloy can be prepared by rapidly cooling and solidifying molten alloy, shows a satisfactory corrosion resistance in high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid, and is adapted to be used as a plant structural material or a separator for a fuel cell.

Amorphous nickel alloy having high corrosion resistance

Amorphous alloys having an extremely high corrosion resistance comprise Cr and at least one element selected from Ta and Nb, as essential components, and are spontaneously passive owing to the formation of stable protective films, even in very corrosive environments such as poorly oxidizing concentrated hydrochloric acid. The amorphous alloy may further include one or more elements appropriately selected from other alloying elements of Al, Ti, Zr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo and W. The amorphous alloys have advantageous properties, such as very high corrosion resistance, high corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures and high wear resistance, and, therefore are useful in chemical plants or other industrial and domestic applications.
