The study reveals that the best corrosion behaviour is given by the Si containing amorphous alloy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AJES) have been employed to study the composition of the passive layers, formed on the surface of the different amorphous alloys. The results on Fe<sub>62</sub>Cr<sub>10</sub>Ni<sub>8</sub>X<sub>20</sub> show that a protective passive film, mainly consisting of oxidized chromium, greatly enhances its corrosion resistance.}, number={6}, journal={Revista de Metalurgia}, author={López, M.
