- the present inventors have previously found amorphous nickel alloys highly resistant to pit corrosion, interstitial corrosion and uniform corrosion, and applied for patent under Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 53-57,120, Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 61-210,143, Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 62-33,735, and Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 62-33,736.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an alloy capable of withstanding an environment which hardly passivates a metal, being non-oxidizing, and exhibits a very severe corrosivity such as high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid.

As a result, they found availability of new amorphous nickel alloys provided with a high corrosion resistance through formation of a stable protecting film even in a severe corrosive acid poor in oxidizing ability such as high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid, in addition to the alloys disclosed in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Provisional Applications Nos. 53-57,120, 61-210,143, 62-33,735, and 62-33,736, and applied for patent under Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,435 and Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,436.
- the present inventors further continued their studies on corrosion resistance of amorphous alloys, and as a result, achieved the present invention by finding amorphous nickel alloys showing a high corrosion resistance even in high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid through combination of various elements in addition to the alloys disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,435 and Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,436.
- the present invention provides an amorphous nickel-based alloy consisting essentially of: 10-40 atomic % of Ta at least 5 atomic % of Mo 25-50 atomic % in total of Ta, Mo and optionally Cr 0-less than 10 atomic % of P, and a balance of nickel.

- the amorphous alloys available by various methods for preparing amorphous alloys through extra-rapid cooling and solidification of molten alloys of the above-mentioned chemical compositions or sputter deposition thereof are single-phase alloys in which the above elements are uniformly dissolved.
- a very uniform protecting film which ensures a high corrosion resistance is therefore produced on any of the amorphous nickel alloys of the present invention.
- a metal material easily melts in high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid solution poor in oxidizing ability. In order to use a metal material in such an environment, therefore, it is necessary to impart the ability to produce a stable protecting film to the metal material. This is accomplished by preparing an alloy containing effective elements in required amounts. In the case of a crystalline metal, however, addition of diverse alloy elements in large quantities often results in a multiple-phase structure comprising different chemical properties, and a desired corrosion resistance cannot be achieved. Generation of chemical non-uniformity is detrimental to corrosion resistance.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which is suitable as a corrosion-resistant material in a severe corrosive environment such as high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid.
- As structural materials for a high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid plant, 309, 310 and 446 Mo stainless steels and Cr-Mo-Ti steel are popularly in use at present. Even these materials are not provided with a corrosion resistance sufficient to withstand a severe corrosive environment such as high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid.
- The present inventors have previously found amorphous nickel alloys highly resistant to pit corrosion, interstitial corrosion and uniform corrosion, and applied for patent under Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 53-57,120, Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 61-210,143, Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 62-33,735, and Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 62-33,736.
- Furthermore, the present inventors have continued their studies while examining various properties of amorphous alloys, and found availability of an amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance through formation of a stable protecting film even in a severe corrosive acid poor in oxidizing ability such as high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid, on which they have applied for patent under Japanese Patent Applications Nos. 61-225,435 and 61-225,436.
- Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,435 covers the following four claims:
- (1) An amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which comprises Mo in an amount of from 10 to 30 atomic %, P in an amount of from 15 to 23 atomic %, and the balance essentially Ni.

- Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,436 covers the following seven claims:
- (1) An amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which comprises Ta in an amount of from 20 to 60 atomic %, and the balance essentially Ni.
- (2) An amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which comprises Ta in an amount of from 1 to 25 atomic %, P in an amount of from 15 to 23 atomic %, and the balance essentially Ni.
- (3) An amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which comprises Ta in an amount of from 1 to 25 atomic %, one or more of B and Si in an amount of up to 7 atomic % and in a total amount with P of from 15 to 23 atomic %, and the balance essentially Ni.
- (4) An amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which comprises Cr in an amount of from 10 to 40 atomic %, P in an amount of from 15 to 23 atomic %, and the balance essentially Ni.
- (5) An amorphour nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which comprises Cr in an amount of from 10 to 40 atomic %, one or more of B and Si in an amount of up to 7 atomic % and a total amount with P of from 15 to 23 atomic %, and the balance essentially Ni.
- (6) An amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which comprises Ta in an amount of up to 20 atomic % and in a total amount with Cr of from 10 to 40 atomic %, P in an amount of from 15 to 23 atomic %, and the balance essentially Ni.
- (7) An amorphous nickel alloy having a high corrosion resistance, which comprises Ta in an amount of up to 20 atomic % and a total amount with Cr of from 10 to 40 atomic %, one or more of B and Si in an amount of up to 7 atomic % and a total amount with P of from 15 to 23 atomic %, and the balance essentially Ni.
- Because of the high boiling point, concentrated phosphoric acid is particularly corrosive at high temperatures, so that there is available no metal material which can be safely used. The alloys disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Applications No. 61-225,435 and No. 61-225,436 show a high corrosion resistance even in such an environment. There is however an increasing demand for development of further various metal materials capable of withstanding such a corrosive environment where it is very difficult to use usual metal materials.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide an alloy capable of withstanding an environment which hardly passivates a metal, being non-oxidizing, and exhibits a very severe corrosivity such as high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid.
- An alloy is usually in the form of crystals in its solid state. However, when a method of not allowing formation of a long-period regularity to the atomic arrangement during formation of solid, through, for example, extra-rapid cooling for solidification from the molten state by limiting the chemical composition of an alloy, an amorphous structure similar to liquid is obtained, and the thus obtained alloy is called an amorphous alloy. In most cases, an amorphous alloy is a uniform single-phase alloy of a super-saturated solid-solution. It has a far higher strength as compared with conventional commercial metals, and shows various properties, depending upon the chemical composition, including an abnormally high corrosion resistance. The present inventors carried out studies on utilization of properties of such amorphous alloys, and found as a result an amorphous nickel-base alloy having a high corrosion resistance not susceptible to pit corrosion, interstitial corrosion or uniform corrosion even in very corrosive aqueous solution such as aqueous solution containing a strong acid or high-concentration chlorine ions, and have applied for patent under Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 53-57,120. In addition, the present inventors found another amorphous alloy having a high corrosion resistance applicable in a severe corrosive environment such as that containing boiling concentrated nitric acid or additionally containing an oxidizer, and applied for patent under Japanese Patent Provisional Application No. 61-21,043. They found another amorphous alloy having a high corrosion resistance applicable in a severely corrosive environment such as boiling concentrated chlorine, and applied for patent under Japanese Patent Provisional Applications Nos. 62-33,735 and 62-33,736. All these are amorphous nickel alloys. Because of the high boiling point, concentrated phosphoric acid is particularly corrosive at high temperatures, as described above, and a sufficient corrosion resistance is not obtained unless the alloy itself has the ability to form a stable protecting film.
- The present inventors carried out further studies while examining the various properties of amorphous alloys. As a result, they found availability of new amorphous nickel alloys provided with a high corrosion resistance through formation of a stable protecting film even in a severe corrosive acid poor in oxidizing ability such as high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid, in addition to the alloys disclosed in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Provisional Applications Nos. 53-57,120, 61-210,143, 62-33,735, and 62-33,736, and applied for patent under Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,435 and Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,436.
- Moreover, the present inventors further continued their studies on corrosion resistance of amorphous alloys, and as a result, achieved the present invention by finding amorphous nickel alloys showing a high corrosion resistance even in high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid through combination of various elements in addition to the alloys disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,435 and Japanese Patent Application No. 61-225,436.
- According to a first aspect, the present invention provides an amorphous nickel-based alloy consisting essentially of:
10-40 atomic % of Ta
at least 5 atomic % of Mo
25-50 atomic % in total of Ta, Mo and optionally Cr
0-less than 10 atomic % of P, and
a balance of nickel. - According to a second aspect, the present invention provides an amorphous nickel-based alloy consisting essentially of:
at least 1 atomic % of Ta
at least 5 atomic % of Mo
15-30 atomic % in total of Ta, Mo and optionally W
10-23 atomic % in total of at least one of P, B and Si, and
a balance of nickel. - The amorphous alloys available by various methods for preparing amorphous alloys through extra-rapid cooling and solidification of molten alloys of the above-mentioned chemical compositions or sputter deposition thereof are single-phase alloys in which the above elements are uniformly dissolved. A very uniform protecting film which ensures a high corrosion resistance is therefore produced on any of the amorphous nickel alloys of the present invention.
- A metal material easily melts in high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid solution poor in oxidizing ability. In order to use a metal material in such an environment, therefore, it is necessary to impart the ability to produce a stable protecting film to the metal material. This is accomplished by preparing an alloy containing effective elements in required amounts. In the case of a crystalline metal, however, addition of diverse alloy elements in large quantities often results in a multiple-phase structure comprising different chemical properties, and a desired corrosion resistance cannot be achieved. Generation of chemical non-uniformity is detrimental to corrosion resistance.
- In contrast, the amorphous alloy of the present invention is a uniform solid-solution and uniformly contains effective elements in required amounts capable of forming a stable protecting film. A uniform protecting film is produced and gives a sufficiently high corrosion resistance in such an amorphous nickel alloy.
- More particularly, the condition to be satisfied by a metal material to withstand high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid poor in oxidizing power is to have a high ability to form a stable protecting film to be uniformly produced on the material in a non-oxidizing environment. This is achieved by means of the chemical compositions of the alloys of the present invention, and the fact that an alloy has an amorphous structure permits preparation of an alloy with a complicated chemical composition into a single-phase solid-solution and ensures formation of a uniform protecting film.
- Now, the reasons of limiting the chemical composition in the present invention are described below.
- Ni is an element forming the basis of the alloys of the present invention, which forms an amorphous structure in the presence of Mo and optionally Cr in a prescribed total amount with Ta, and forms an amorphous structure also in the presence of P. Ni assists the effects of Ta, Mo, Cr and W responsible for corrosion resistance.
- Ta, Mo, Cr (and also W) are elements responsible for corrosion resistance through formation of a protecting film. When the total content of Ta, Mo and optionally Cr is from 25 to 50 atomic %, a metal-metal alloy thereof with Ni can form an amorphous structure. The total content of Ta, Mo and optionally Cr is therefore specified to be from 25 to 50 atomic % in the first aspect of the present invention.
- P is an effective element which assists formation of a protecting film of Ta, Mo, Cr or W. However, because addition of P in a large amount to a metal-metal alloy makes it difficult to obtain an amorphous structure, the P content is no more than 10 atomic % in the first aspect of the present invention.
- In an Ni-P alloy, on the other hand, a high content of P produces an amorphous structure as a metal-semimetal alloy. However, addition of excessive P rather hinders formation of an amorphous structure. For the purpose of producing an amorphous structure, therefore, the P content is limited within the range of from 10 to 23 atomic % in the second aspect of the present invention. As an amorphous metal-semimetal alloy containing P in a sufficient amount as above has a high ability to form a protecting film, the alloy of the second aspect of the present invention can have a sufficient corrosion resistance even in severely corrosive high-temperature concentrated phosphoric acid, if the total amount of Mo and W (optional element) with Ta in an amount of at least 1 atomic % is at least 15 atomic %.
- In the case of a metal-semimetal alloy, addition of excessive Mo, W or Ta makes it difficult to obtain an amorphous structure. The total amount of Mo and W with Ta in an amount of 1 atomic % is therefore specified to be up to 30 atomic % in the second aspect of the present invention.
- B and Si are elements effective for the formation of an amorphous structure in the presence of Ni and can replace P. However, in order not to reduce the effect of P of promoting formation of a protecting film, it is not desirable that P should be replaced by one or more of B and Si in a total amount of over 7 atomic %.
- For the preparation of the amorphous alloy of the present invention, any of the various popularly utilized methods for preparing an amorphous alloy may be applied, including that of extra-rapidly cooling and solidifying liquid alloy, those of forming an amorphous alloy through the gaseous phase, and that of destroying the long-period structure of solid through ion injection.
- An apparatus for preparing the amorphous alloy of the present invention is illustrated in Fig. 1. In Fig. 1, the portion enclosed by the dotted line is evacuated into vacuum, and then filled with inert gas. In this figure, 2 is a silica tube having a
vertical nozzle 3 at the lower tip thereof, and the raw material 4 and the inert gas for preventing oxidation of the raw material 4 can be introduced through aninlet port 1 provided on the top of thesilica tube 2. A heating furnace 5 is installed around thesilica tube 2 to heat the above-mentioned raw material 4. A high-speed rotating roll 7 is placed vertically below thenozzle 3, and is rotated by means of amotor 6. When preparing an amorphous alloy, the raw material 4 having a prescribed chemical composition is charged in thesilica tube 2, and first evacuating the apparatus to a vacuum of about 10⁻⁵ Torr, the tube is filled with inert gas. - Then, the raw material 4 is heated and melted in the heating furnace 5, and the resulting molten metal is ejected by means of compressed inert gas onto the outer peripheral surface of the roll 7 rotating at such a high speed as from 1,000 to 10,000 rpm by the action of the
motor 6. Application of this method permits preparation of the amorphous alloy of the present invention as a long sheet having, for example, a thickness of 0.1 mm, a width of 10 mm, and a length of several meters. - Fig. 1 is a schematic view illustrating an apparatus for the preparation of the amorphous alloy of the present invention. In Fig. 1, 1: raw material inlet port, 2: silica tube, 3: nozzle section, 4: raw material, 5: heating furnace, 6: motor, and 7: high-speed rotating roll.
- Raw material metals were mixed so as to give the chemical compositions shown in Table 2, and raw material alloys were prepared in an argon arc melting furnace. These alloys were remelted in argon atmosphere, and extra-rapidly cooled and solidified by the application of the single roll method as shown in Fig. 1 into amorphous alloy sheets having a thickness of from 0.01 to 0.05 mm, a width of from 1 to 3 mm and a length of from 3 to 20 m. Formation of an amorphous structure was confirmed by means of X-ray diffraction. The surfaces of these alloy specimens were ground in cyclohexane up to silicon carbide paper No. 1000. Then alloy specimens of a prescribed length were cut, immersed in about 63% P₂O₅ solution at 160°C and 72% P₂O₅ solution at 200°C for a period of from 7 to 10 days, and the weight before and after immersion was measured by means of a micro-balance. The results obtained are shown in Table 3.
- The corroding rate of the amorphous alloys of the present invention is very slight. As a result of analysis of the alloy surface by the application of the X-ray photoelectron spectrometry after the immersion test of the alloy of the present invention, a protecting film of hydrated oxide of concentrated Ta and Mo or hydrated oxyhydroxide was produced on the alloy, and this was found to be the cause of the high corrosion resistance of the alloy of the present invention.
- The amorphous nickel alloy of the present invention is, as described above in detail, highly corrosion-resistant in that it is not corroded through formation of a stable protecting film even in a severely corrosive environment poor in oxidizing ability such as high-temperature phosphoric acid.
- Since any of the popularly applied known techniques for the preparation of an amorphous alloy is applicable to the preparation of the alloy of the present invention, it is not necessary to use a special apparatus, thus providing excellent practical utility of the alloy of the present invention.
