Corrosion of titanium alloys in pressurised water at 350 °C and 17.5 MPa
Source abstract
Abstract
The corrosion of titanium alloys in pressurised water at 350 • C and 17.5 MPa was studied in a loop made of stainless steel. The corrosion mechanism involved simultaneous TiO 2 formation and dissolution, which led to surface precipitation of TiO 2 anatase and FeTiO 3 ilmenite crystallites. Based on image analyses made on crosssections, a minimum corrosion rate, for all tested titanium alloys, was estimated at 4 µm year -1 at 350 • C. Comparison with a previous study indicated an increase of the corrosion rate by an approximate factor of 4 between 300 • C and 350 • C.
