Effect of oxidation at an elevated temperature on the evolution of phases, microstructure, and properties of the oxide films formed on the surface of TiZr
Abstract:This study examined the evolution of the microstructure, microhardness, corrosion resistance, and selective leaching properties of oxide films formed on the surface of a Ti–50Zr (%) alloy during heat treatment at 600 °C for various time intervals. According to our experimental results, the growth and evolution of oxide films can be divided into three stages. In stage I (heat treatment for less than 2 min), ZrO2 was first formed on the surface of the TiZr alloy, which slightly improved its corrosion resistance.… Show more
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.
