L. Yang et al., Quick-homogeneous corrosion of Ti-2Al-2.5Zr alloy in high-temperature and high-pressure water steam, J MAT SCI T, 17(1), 2001, pp. 43-44
The corrosion behavior of Ti-2Al-2.5Zr alloy with 5 alloy contents and 5 su
rface states were studied in water steam at 400 degreesC, 10.3 MPa for 72 h
. The weight-increments of all samples are under 4 mg/dm(2), better than Zr
and Zr-alloy. alpha -Ti is oxidized into anatase-type TiO2 preferentially.
The corrosion resistance is improved by adding Al element or pre-oxidizing
treatment, the latter is more effective relatively.
