Behaviour of titanium and its alloys with hafnium in selected corrosive media
Abstract
Ti and its alloys with Hf additions up to 50% (by weight) have been subjected to corrosion in organic acids and their mixtures, and 3% NaCl, 5% NaOH solutions under boiling conditions for their performance by weight change measurements. These alloys are found to be unaffected in boiling 3% NaCl and 5% NaOH solutions. Amongst titanium and Ti‐Hf alloys, Ti 50%‐Hf 50% behaves the best in the acids and their mixtures with the exception of HNO3. Correlation between polarisation characteristics and dissolution rates in boiling acids is seen only in 20% ortho H3PO4.
