The corrosion resistance of the amorphous metallic alloys (AMAs) of Fe$_{82}$Nb$_2$B$_{14}$REM$_2$ (REM = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy) in 0.05 M NaCl solution is estimated by cyclic voltammetry. As found, the 2 at.% rare-earth metal (REM) alloying of the alloys promotes corrosion resistance. The surface morphology of the AMAs samples is investigated by scanning electron microscopy method. As shown, a treatment by solution of fluoric acid changes the AMAs surface. As established, the chemical etching by fluoric acid, as well as a fivefold scan of the potential leads to the formation of new protective oxide-hydroxide layers, which cause an increase corrosion resistance. In particular, the content of Y in the surface layers after interaction with the solution of fluoric acid compared to other doped alloys is the highest.
Key words: amorphous metallic alloys, rare-earth metals, corrosion resistance, morphology.
