Summary
This review discusses the corrosion behavior of titanium and certain titanium alloys in a wide range of applications including aerospace, chemical, electrochemical, pollution control, power plants, and natural environments. Conditions in which the metal performs well, and also poorly, are discussed along with the various forms of damage observed. These forms include uniform, crevice, pitting, galvanic, erosion and stress corrosion, and hydrogen embrittlement. Means for avoiding damage and extending usage are also reviewed along with the advantages of inhibitors, anodic passivation, and special alloying.
