(Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5)100−xNbx (at%, x=0 and 8) bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were coated on the surface of Q195 steel wires by a continuous coating process. The potentiodynamic polarization tests of these BMGs were conducted in 3.5wt% NaCl aqueous solution. It is found that the addition of 8at% Nb into Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 alloy results in the improvement of corrosion resistance with the pitting potential of −52 mV, the open circuit potential of −446 mV, and the corrosion current density of 9.86×10−6 mA/cm2. This may be attributed to that Nb is beneficial to passivate and stabilize Zr and Ti.
