Corrosion behavior of the Ti–4% Al–4% V alloy inboiling nitric acid solutions

Effect of heat treatment on corrosion behavior of Ti–6Al–4V alloy weldments

“…The influence of microstructure on anodic dissolution of Ti alloys has been studied in recent years (Lopez et al, 2002;Robin et al, 1999;Raja et al, 1993;Tamilselvi et al, 2006;Yu and Scully, 1997;Noel, 1999), but there have been relatively few reports on the effect of welding on corrosion resistance of Ti alloys. Fusion weld in Ti alloys are characterized by coarse, columnar ␤-grains in the FZ (Lutjering and Williams, 2007).…”

Electrochemical corrosion properties of Ti–6Al–4V implant alloy in the biological environment

“…Implant alloys exhibit attractive properties such as mechanical strength and biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, safety, ductility, and wear resistance [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Only a few articles on corrosion behavior of Ti-6Al-4V implant alloy in human body fluid can be found in the literature.…”

Oxygen ion irradiation effect on corrosion behavior of titanium in nitric acid medium

“…The increase in I Pass is associated with increase in anodic dissolution [2] and thereby these results revealed deterioration in corrosion resistance by irradiation in CP-Ti. In Ti and its alloys higher passive current density (%10 À3 A/cm 2 ) in nitric acid has also been reported [24][25][26]. Moreover, higher value of I Pass could be attributed to less stability and less protective nature of the passive film and due to the formation of unstable hydrated TiO 2 film or TiO 3 , as reported by Kiuchi [8,11].…”
