Corrosive electrochemical behavior of amorphous and nanocrystalline Fe–P–Si–Mn–V alloys in a moist SO2-contaminated atmosphere

Nanocrystalline soft magnetic Finemet alloys, which are currently used in power electrical engineering and electrical equipment, are alloyed with expensive and scarce metals (Nb, Cu). We searched for low-cost soft magnetic alloys that are comparable with Finemets in the corrosion resistance.
