Atomic-Scale Modeling of the Dynamics of Titanium Oxidation

Abstract: We present a model for the oxidation of titanium combining non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and Density Functional Theory (DFT). We find that oxygen is more strongly bound as an interstitial in Ti than in TiO 2 oxide, the energy difference being around 1.6 eV. Therefore, a binary phase structure TiO 2 /Ti, like the commonly-observed oxide scale, which protects

“…The build-up of oxide is best viewed as a jamming of oxygen atoms caused by the slow diffusion across the interface. This causes the observed well-defined interface between oxide and metal, and in previous work [13] we have shown that, at such an interface, diffusion is dominated by a single high barrier for oxygen to diffuse from oxide to metal. In this model, above 600 o C, a positive feedback effect occurs to facilitate oxidization.…”

“…It is curious that Vanadium does not inhibit oxide growth, although one might expect that V 5+ ions should play a similar role to Nb 5+ . Furthermore, in recent calculation we have shown that a system of TiO 2 coexisting with Ti is not thermodynamically stable [11], and that the rate-limiting step in oxide growth is the production of oxygen vacancies at the metal-oxide interface [12,13], not the diffusion in the oxide. A single-layer barrier leads to linear growth, not the √ t dependence expected for a diffusion process.…”

“…The theoretical modeling of the dynamics of titanium oxidation had been investigated recently by our group [17]. It is the Ti(1010)/TiO 2 (100) interface that has appropriately described oxidation processes in the titanium alloys.…”
