Abstract
Based on a set of machine learning predictions of glass formation in the Ni-Ti-Al system, we have undertaken a high-throughput experimental study of that system. We utilized rapid synthesis followed by high- throughput structural and electrochemical characterization. Using this dual-modality approach, we are able to better classify the amorphous portion of the library, which we found the be that with a full-width-halfmaximum (FWHM) of 0.42 ˚A−1 for the first sharp diffraction peak. We demonstrate that the FWHM and corrosion resistance are correlated but that, while chemistry still plays a role, a large FWHM is a necessary for the best corrosion resistance.
