1. Atom scale structure and minor solute exert strong effects on the corrosion properties of ideal solid solution alloys The effects of structural (order – disorder transformation, relaxation), chemical (solute clusters, minor solute elements) and structural+chemical defects (solute rich and lean nanocrystals in an amorphous solid solution) on corrosion are investigated using model alloys. Disordered and ordered crystalline Fe 50 Pd 50 : The disordered structure has strong grain orientation dependent dissolution over long times [1] which is morphologically different than after ordering [2]. The ordered surface initially shows crystallographic dissolution but at longer exposure durations only limited crystal dependence is apparent. This highlights a strong effects of neighbor atoms & bond length. Amorphous Cu 75 Hf 20 Dy 05 [3] undergoes Hf selective dissolution in hydrofluoric acid and subsequent reorganization to form nanoporous fcc Cu much more quickly than its single phase crystalline solid solution counterpart. These results show that the ordered structure hinders surface diffusion of Cu compared to the amorphous variant, thereby slowing surface reorganization and inhibiting porosity formation.
