The electrochemistry of glassy Cr 72 P 28 , Cr 87 P 13 , Cr 70 B 30 , and mixed-phase glassy ∼A-15, nanocrystalline Cr 93 P 7 were examined in comparison to chromium. For oxidizing conditions these materials are passive and exhibit similar film formation kinetics. In reducing environments, chromium is in the active state. The excellent corrosion behavior of Cr 1-x P x and Cr 70 B 30 is attributed to the fact that, unlike chromium, these materials cannot be stably activated
