CORROSION OF TITANIUM

Abstract

This memorandum summarizes information on the corrosion of titanium and its alloys available during the period 1960 to mid 1966. It describes the corrosion resistance of titanium in salt solutions, acids, gases, organic media and liquid metals. Included are such topics as field-service experiences, stress-corrosion cracking, galvanic (two-metal) coupling, and anodic protection for titanium and titanium alloys. Media in which stress-corrosion cracking is reported include NaCl solutions, H2SO4, HCl, dry red-fuming nitric acid, methanol containing H2SO4 or HCl, certain grades of N2O4, molten cadmium, mercury, silver and silver-containing compounds and alloys. Stress-corrosion cracking data on hot salt and accelerated crack propagation were covered previously in DMIC Technical Note, February 1, 1966.
