In this study, anti-tarnishing and corrosion characteristics of a single 𝛽1' and Bangjja Yugi alloy in the Cl^- ion environment before and after potentiostatic electrolysis treatment were compared. Stable and uniform SnO₂ oxide film with several nanometer thickness is formed after potentiostatic electrolysis treatment. In the case of Bangjja Yugi prior to potentiostatic electrolysis (PE) treatment for exposure in Cl^- environment, tarnishing occurs rapidly within 0.5hr, whereas PE treated Bangjja Yugi indicates stable surface without tarnishing up to 3hr. Especially, it is noticeable that anti-tarnishing and corrosion characteristic of PE treated single 𝛽1', which were significantly improved by 3 times and 15 times, respectively, compared to conventional Bangja Yugi.
