Reactions and Electrochemical Kinetics of Newly-Generated Metal Surfaces
Abstract
Air Force flight vehicles must withstand increasingly complex environmental and operational regimes. Fundamental knowledge of the mechanisms of fatigue and fracture of flight structures is required. This research is related to the understanding of crack propagation, stress corrosion and corrosion fatigue in titanium and other metals. An electrochemical mass transport kinetic (MTK) model was previously formulated by the author to quantitatively describe the electrochemical events in a crack. The research described was done to fulfill the requirement of the model for quantitative data on new titanium surfaces and to develop a general understanding of the kinetics of the repassivation process.
