for alloys with different boron contents. The results show that the corrosion rate (current density) decreased with increasing boron content and all the samples exhibited passivation behavior. For the 0.1 B alloy, the passivation starting current (ivs) and passivation completed current (ip~) were 3.2 × 10 and 3.1 × 10 1 mA, respectively. For the boronfree alloy, ips and ire were found to be 7.2 x 10 and 1.0 mA, respectively. For further study of anodic polarization behavior, repetitive anodic polarization tests were performed at room temperature in 10N-H3PO4 with a scan rate of 20 mV per minute for the boron-free and 0.1 B alloys. The values of ips, ir~, Eps (passivation starting potential), and Er~ (passivation completed potential) for B-free and 0.1 B alloys are replotted as a function of the number of repetition in Figures 3(a), (b), (c), and (d), respectively. For the saturated state, ip¢ and Ep~ were found to be 0.9 mA and 270 mV for the 0.1 B alloy, while those of the B-free alloy were 3.2 mA and 360 mV, respectively. The results show that boron additions (0.1 wt pct) improved the corrosion resistance of polycrystalline Ni3A1 in the H3PO4 solution.

converter were used for the corrosion test. Rest potentials (E rest) and potentiostatic anodic potentials were measured at room temperature in electrolytes as a function of boron content. The electrolytes tested were various concentrations of HC1, H2SO4, NaC1, and H3PO 4. The effect of boron content on corrosion potentials (E rest) in 1N-HC1, 1N-H2SO4, and 0.05 N-NaC1 is shown in Figure 1. The rest potential decreased with increasing boron content, regardless of the electrolyte. The 0.1 pct B alloy exhibited the lowest rest potential, while the boron-free alloy displayed the highest rest potential.
