The dependence of the Fe—Si—B-electrodes’ protective surface layer resistance on the 0.5—3.0 hour pre-exposition in an alternating magnetic field with frequency of 50 Hz and intensity of 470 mT is experimentally determined. Estimation of the electrode surface stability in 0.5 M aqueous solutions of NaCl, HCl, and NaOH is carried out by means of the chronopotentiometry and voltammetry methods. As found, the electrochemical surface resistance in all aggressive solutions varies nonlinearly depending on the duration of pre-exposition in an alternating magnetic field. Practically, contact surface of the electrode is activated after one hour holding in an alternating magnetic field, and external surface–after two hours. Results of the electrochemical investigations show a decreasing of the surfaces activity after 3 hours exposition in an alternating magnetic field because of compaction of surface oxide—hydroxide layers.
Key words: amorphous alloys, alternating magnetic field, aggressive environment, chronopotentiometry, voltammetry, oxide—hydroxide layers.
