Abstract: Fe-based amorphous alloys (BMGs) have great potential for a variety of engineering applications due to their excellent hardness, wear and corrosion resistance. The method of micro addition can effectively improve the properties of alloys, but there are fewer studies on the effect of micro addition of transition group metals on the properties of Fe-based BMGs. Based on this, this study investigated the effects of micro additions of transition group metals on the glass-forming ability (GFA), thermal stability, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of Fe43Co7Cr15Mo12C15B6M2 (M=Mo, Hf, Mn, Zr, Nb, Ta, W, V, and Ti; in at.%) BMGs. The results show that only BMGs with the addition of Mo, Hf, Mn and Zr have a better GFA with a critical diameter greater than 1.5 mm. These four BMGs demonstrate excellent compressive strengths ranging from 4.5 GPa to 4.8 GPa and Vickers hardness between 1 208HV0.3 and 1 323HV0.3. Among them, the Fe-based BMGs with Zr addition exhibits superior corrosion resistance, attributed to the formation of corrosion-resistant ZrO2 through reactions between oxyphilic ions Zr4+ and oxygen ions. Furthermore, the presence of Zr enhances the generation of Cr3+ and Fe2+ ions, leading to the formation of a thicker and denser passivation film, which significantly improves corrosion resistance of the Fe-based BMGs. These findings provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of Fe-based BMGs with enhanced GFA and corrosion resistance.
