Description

The effect of Ti and C additions on the corrosion behavior of Nd9.4Pr0.6Febal.Co6B6Ga0.5TixCx (x=0, 1.5, 3, 6) isotropic nanocomposite melt-spun ribbons in 3.5 wt% sodium chloride solution was studied. The melt-spun ribbons were annealed at 750 oC for 10 min in argon-filled quartz capsules. The microstructure of multiphase nanocrystalline samples and corrosion products was characterized using the X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques. The electrochemical behavior was assessed using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the addition of Ti and C increases the corrosion resistance of NdFeB ribbons; the best corrosion resistance was obtained for 1.5 wt% Ti and C content.
