This study was undertaken to examine the electrochemical corrosion properties of Fe-Nb-B amor- phous alloys prepared by using the melt-spinning method under various conditions. The potentio- dynamic polarization responses at various levels of pH (pH 2, pH 7, pH 12) showed that the uniform corrosion resistance of the Fe
80Nb
10B
10alloy was better than that of the Fe
82Nb
8B
10alloy at all levels of pH. The corrosion rate of an alloy is usually reduced by increasing the solution’s pH. The Fe
82Nb
8B
10alloy was passivated neither in a 0.01 M nor a 0.1 M NaCl solution. Pitting occurred on Fe
80Nb
10B
10, and the pitting potential was lower at higher NaCl concentrations.
