Ta is an element that forms a protective film and plays a role in corrosion resistance. A protective film can be formed even if Ta exceeds 10 atoms, but the ability to form an amorphous layer decreases and there is no effect if Ta exceeds 10 atoms.

したがって、Taの含有量を1〜10原子チと定めた。Therefore, the Ta content was determined to be 1 to 10 atoms.

P has an effective effect in coexisting with Ni to form an amorphous structure, and coexisting with Ta to form an amorphous structure, but if its content is less than 15 atoms, the ability to form an amorphous decreases. If the content exceeds 23 atoms, a phosphate film with low protection properties will be formed in the environment of high-temperature concentrated citric acid, which is not preferable.

したがって、Pの含有量は、15〜23原子チと定めた
Therefore, the content of P was determined to be 15 to 23 atoms.

8%Si B and Si components are also effective components to coexist with N1 to form an amorphous structure, and are elements that can be substituted for P.
One or two types of i must have at least 0.1 atoms,
Furthermore, in order not to reduce the effect of P that promotes the formation of a protective film, one or both of B and Si must not be contained in an amount exceeding 7 atoms.

By substituting a part of P, it also has the effect of partially enhancing the amorphous formation ability. However, P! : If the total amount of B and 81 is less than 15 atoms, the ability to form an amorphous layer decreases and the corrosion resistance also decreases. On the other hand, if the total amount of P, B, and 81 exceeds 23 atoms, the ability to form a protective film will be poor and the corrosion resistance will be reduced. therefore.

PとBと81の合計は、15〜23原子チと定めた。The total of P, B, and 81 was determined to be 15 to 23 atoms.
