EFFECT OF URANIUM AND IRON IONS ON CORROSION OF TITANIUM IN SULFURIC ACID SOLUTIONS
Abstract
The introduction of U(6+) and Fe(3+) ions into boiling solutions of dilute H2SO4 brings about a sharp reduction in the rate of corrosion of titanium. The Fe(3+) ion is a more effective passivator of titanium in boiling H2SO4 solutions than the U(6+) ion. The passivating capacity of U(6+) and Fe(3+) ions is connected with the displacement of the potential of titanium into the passive region, due to facilitation of the cathode process and also to the high oxidation-reduction potential of a solution containing U(6+) and Fe(3+) ions.
