Influence Of Some Metals On The Rate Of Corrosion And Deposition Of Titanium In Molten Salt Baths, Yu-Pu Huang

Masters Theses

"2. The purpose of this investigation. The substances obtained by corrosion of titanium in fused salts, if leached with water and dried, are composed of three kinds of products, namely of black, gray and yellowish ones. The black product was identified by X-ray diffraction as titanium-oxygen alloy with 9-10% by weight oxygen which later was used as coating material instead of the titanium sheet for deposition experiments described previously. The yellowish product was identified as rutile. The grayish product was also rutile but containing some titanium powder. Of these three products only the black one possessed the ability to deposit …

Corrosion Products Of Titanium In Fused Salt Baths, Kai-Chai Chiou

"Titanium is gaining great interest in the modern metal industry because of its natural abundance and its desirable physical and chemical properties. Among them, its excellent corrosion resistance, such as the resistance to normal atmosphere attack, humid and saline atmosphere attack, sea water attack, and nitric acid attack, is the most prominent characteristic being welcomed by the engineers. The usefulness of titanium would be greatly increased if it were possible to plate titanium on other metals, thus increasing the corrosion resistance of these other metals.

Much concern, at present, has been given to the possibilities of the electrodeposition of titanium …
