• is largely derived from ex situ surface analysis using XPS and scanning tunneling microscopy. However, the findings of UHV-XPS do not accurately represent the genuine passive film/electrolyte interface. APXPS is essential to observe the onset and progression of corrosion and to gain a fundamental

• near the alloy’s surface, exacerbating metal dissolution. The passive film breakdown has been studied for different acidities of the electrolyte solution, as reported in Figure 14. A parallel study extended these findings to martensitic stainless steel, offering further insights into the chemical

• ); corrosion; friction; metallic glass; passive film; Introduction Metallic glasses (MGs) exhibit excellent mechanical properties including extraordinary hardness and strength [1][2]. Thus, MGs have emerged as novel wear-resistant materials with high potential in tribological applications [3][4][5][6][7][8
