Key words bulk metallic glass, amorphous alloy, Mg-based alloy, general corrosion, passivity, filiform corrosion, hydrogen. 

For two decades a new generation of mnlti-component metallic alloy systems, which are capable of solidifying from the melt in fully amorphous structural 

This chapter starts with a brief overview about Mg-based BMGs and describes principal strategies and challenges for the achievement of maximum amorphous sample thickness. Characteristic thermal data and mechanical properties are summarized. Some fundamental considerations about the effect of microstructural refinements up to the adjustment of single-phase amorphous states on the corrosion reactivity of Mg-based alloys are made.
