Although they are not All titanium alloys are susceptible to stress corrosion in this environment but for some the presence of excess nitrogen dioxide is necessary while others can crack in the absence of this component.

Therefore, it performs best in oxidizing media such as hot nitric acid. of these acids when they are heavily contaminated with heavy metal ions such as Generally, titanium alloys that have been developed for high strength and good creep resistant properties have inferior corrosion resistance to the commercially pure material, but there are some alloying additions that can improve corrosion properties. Whenever fresh titanium is exposed to the atmosphere or to any environment containing oxygen, it immediately acquires a thin tenacious film of oxide. While commercially pure titanium is not affected, stress corrosion of some titanium alloys can take place in chlorinated hydrocarbons. degradation by any of these forms of corrosion should be considered. stress is present. It is the presence of this surface film that confers on the material its excellent corrosion resistance. In this uncommon situation, accelerated corrosion While the material normally has a significant corrosion rate in media such as sulphuric or hydrochloric acids which produce hydrogen on reaction with the metal, the presence of a small amount of oxidising agent in the acid results in the formation of a passive film. environments. Because of decreasing cost and the increasing availability of titanium alloy

especially attractive. Erosion is an accelerated form of attack usually associated with high water velocities and with local turbulence which removes the oxide from the surface of film forming metals thus exposing bare metal to the corrodent. Galvanic corrosion of titanium-dissimilar metal couples at different area ratios in static sea water.

Provided that sufficient oxygen is present, the film is self healing and re-forms almost at once if mechanically damaged. Ideally these would be fabricated entirely from titanium but where this is not possible, alloys which are galvanically near compatible with titanium such as Inconel 625, Hastelloy C, 254 SMO, Xeron 100 or composite materials may be selected to be in direct contact with titanium at joints. Here, cracking was mainly intergranular but the phenomenon only occurred under anhydrous conditions, the presence of as little as 1.5 to 2% water completely inhibiting the reaction. commercial alloys contain aluminum, chromium, iron, manganese, molybdenum, tin, Traditional applications are in the aerospace and chemical In any contemplated application of titanium, its susceptibility to the exposed surface of the metal. purity in 1910. whereas lower temperatures often generate the more amorphous form of TiO, Date Published: endstream endobj 157 0 obj <>stream Titanium differs from most materials in that, if coupled to a more noble metal in an aggressive solution, the electrode potential of the titanium tends to be raised and the corrosion rate is reduced rather than increased. commercially available titanium alloys, including the titanium-palladium water are present in the environment. A stable, substantially inert oxide film provides the material with outstanding resistance to corrosion in a wide range of aggressive media. Titanium and its alloys are extremely resistant to pitting attack in seawater and other chloride containing solutions at ambient and moderately elevated temperatures. However, it was not until the 1952 choice for heat-exchanger tubing in seawater-cooled exchangers, provided that the The correct degreasants containing additions to prevent decomposition should be used and the time of contact between the titanium and the degreasant should not be excessively long. products, many titanium alloys have become standard engineering materials This principle of palladium additions is now being extended to some of the higher strength alloys in order to combine corrosion resistance with good tensile properties.

This not only improves its resistance to reducing acids such as sulphuric, hydrochloric, and phosphoric but also raises the critical temperature at which crevice corrosion in sea water can occur.

Increasing the surface oxide film thickness by anodizing or thermal oxidation, Anodically polarizing the alloy (anodic protection) by impressed Small amounts of tin reduce scaling losses during hot rolling. These test conditions are very much more severe than those normally encountered in service, however, and it has been amply demonstrated that titanium is completely unaffected in condensers and coolers handling waters having a high sand content, whereas under the same conditions cupro-nickels can fail within 2 to 3 years. As a result of its ability to repair its protective oxide film quickly, titanium has an extremely high resistance to this form of attack.

When the two surfaces are close together they are either not wetted by the corrodent or, if they are wetted initially, the flow of solution is restricted and corrosion is stifled before the titanium oxide film is disrupted.

This is important material, as strong as steel with less than 60% of its density but with excellent Titanium At times, general corrosion in aqueous In pure sea water, for example, erosion is negligible at flow rates as high as 18 m s-1.

A modern and comprehensive document on the subject is so than zirconium. Although it has been demonstrated in laboratory tests that titanium alloys are susceptible to hot salt stress corrosion cracking, no service failures have ever been reported, even though titanium alloys have been used in aerospace applications at temperatures as high as 600C. In fact, a damaged oxide film can the absence of a source of oxygen may result in titanium corrosion, When designing equipment for the chemical or oil industries or for some general engineering applications it is essential to consider the deleterious galvanic effects that may result from contact between dissimilar metals. hydrogen damage, and SCC. molybdenum (>= 4 wt%).

However, even with these alloys the operation is perfectly safe if attention is paid to working conditions. The reason for this preferential corrosion is that, because of restriction in circulation of the solution, there is either a differential concentration effect or differential aeration within the crevice.
