Nowadays, different industries, such as the aerospace and biomedical industries, prefer using Ti alloys due to their excellent anti-corrosion properties and ability to generate a TiO2 oxide layer; this induces the use of anodization to increase the useful life of components. The aim of this work is to characterize the electrochemical effect of anodizing treatment on titanium alloys (Ti CP2, Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo, Ti-6Al-4V, and Ti Beta-C) in NaOH and KOH at 1 M, applying a current density of 0.0025 A/cm2. The electrochemical techniques employed were electrochemical noise (EN) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), supported by ASTM G199 and ASTM G106 in electrolytes of NaCl and H2SO4 at 3.5 wt. % as a simulation of marine and industrial atmospheres. Also, the anodized transversal section and surface morphology were characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results of both electrochemical techniques indicated that Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo anodized in NaOH presented the best properties against corrosion, and the thickness of the oxide was the biggest.

Precipitation-hardening stainless steels, like AM 350 and Custom 450, are extensively utilized in various aerospace applications. The latter steel is utilized for applications needing great strength and corrosion resistance. In contrast, the former steel has a good corrosion resistance and moderate strength. The purpose of this study was to analyze transient frequencies in the electrochemical noise of Custom 450 and AM 350 stainless steels that had been passivated for 60 and 90 min at 25 and 49 °C using baths of citric and nitric acid and then immersed in solutions containing 1% sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and 5% sodium chloride (NaCl). The potentiodynamic polychromatic curves employed electrochemical techniques and noise (EN) based on the ASTM-G5 and G199 standards. Two methods of data analysis were applied concerning EN: the domain of frequencies (power spectral density, PSD) and the time–frequency domain (Hilbert-Huang Transform). The PHSS passivated in citric acid indicated current densities in the H2SO4 solution between 10−2 and 10−3 mA/cm2, while those in the NaCl solution were recorded around 10−4 and 10−5 mA/cm2. The citric acid functions as a passivating agent. The results of the electrochemical noise analysis show that the PHSS passivated in nitric acid displayed a greater corrosion resistance. Moreover, there is a tendency for PHSS to be passivated in nitric acid to corrode locally.

“…Meanwhile, Ti-6Al-4V showed lower corrosion resistance. The electrochemical noise technique of wavelets analysis predicted porosity, and Ti-6Al-4V presented the most heterogeneous porosity when high accumulation energy appeared on the first wavelets crystals [34,35].…”

Titanium alloys present superior electrochemical properties due to the generation of the TiO2 passive layer. The ability to generate an oxide passive layer depends on the anodized alloy. This work mainly studies the corrosion resistance of the alloys Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo and Ti-6Al-4V anodized in NaOH and KOH at 1 M and 0.025 A/cm2 of current density. The electrochemical techniques were performed in a conventional three-electrode cell exposed to electrolytes of NaCl and H2SO4. Based on ASTM-G61 and G199, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques were used. The results indicated that Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo anodized on NaOH presented a higher passivity range than anodized on KOH, relating to the high reactivity of Na+ ions. The former anodized alloy also demonstrated a higher passive layer rupture potential. In EN, the results showed that Ti-6Al-4V anodized in KOH presented a trend toward a localized process due to the heterogeneity of anodized porosity and the presence of V in the alloy.
