Reactivity of Titanium with Oxygen

Abstract

This study was undertaken to develop information on which a knowledgeable decision could be based concerning the use of titanium for construction of thin walled LOX tanks. The primary goals were to investigate the reactions of titanium alloys with oxygen under a variety of conditions associated with space vehicles, and to determine if the titanium could be treated or coated in some fashion to eliminate such hazards.
