Metal injection molding (MIM) process has the advantage of better formability of three
dimensional complex shape products with high density and high performance properties
compared to the ingot metallurgy (I/M) process. Two kinds of pure titanium specimens, i.e., the first
one is prepared by the I/M process and the second one is prepared by MIM process are used in this
experiment, and their corrosion behavior under stress has been investigated in several aqueous
solutions by Slow Strain Rate Tensile (SSRT) test. Both I/M and MIM specimens showed good
corrosion resistance in the aqueous solution composed of 2.5 kmol/m3 H2SO4 and 0.2 kmol/m3
NaCl as well as saline solution. This aqueous solution is noted one in which Type 304 stainless steel
showed SCC. In the aqueous solution composed of CH3OH and 0.1 kmol/m3 HCl containing
8.6kg/m3 H2O, the elongation of MIM specimen was slightly higher than that of I/M specimen
though both specimens indicated the remarkable decrease in elongation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
