Abstract Gas-atomized Ni53Nb20Ti10Zr8Co6Cu3 (at.%) amorphous powders with particles sizes of below 25 μm were used for kinetic metallization (KM) to deposit coatings with thickness of ~500 μm. It was indicated that fully amorphous metallic coatings were successfully obtained. The porosities of the deposited coatings decreased with increasing spray temperature and deposition efficiency. The corrosion property of the coatings was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization in 1 kmol/m3 HCl aqueous solution. The coating keeps the same good corrosion resistance as its amorphous alloy at a lower porosity.
