Abstract
Rates of corrosion and anodic dissolution in H2SO4 of titanium carbide and TiC-TiB2 alloys and their thin films, produced by self-spread hig h-temperature synthesis and magnetron sputtering respectively, have be en studied. Comparative studies of corrosion-electrochemical behavior of bulk materials and films of similar composition showed a significan tly decreased corrosion rate of the films due to their quasi-amorphous (fine-grained) structure. The maximum effect was exhibited for TiC an d 80% TiC-TiB2 alloy.
