Abstract:
Polarization curves and electrochemical parameters of four kinds of titanium alloys (TC4,TC11,TA7 and TA12) were measured in six alcohol solutions with the potentiodynamic method. The effects of H
2O and Cl
- were mainly investigated. It was found that the pitting corrosion resistance of the alloys was somehow improved when the certain amount of H
2O was added in the alcohol solutions and greatly decreased by Cl
- in the solutions. Cl
- would obviously change titanium alloys from a self-passivation state into an active one.
