Abstract:Titanium nitride coatings are extensively adopted as an intermediate adhesion layer in the cutting tools because of its superior mechanical properties. The interdependence of each process parameter during the deposition of such a coating process is nonlinear, and hence, it becomes a challenge to determine the output responses without carrying out a wide range of experiments. So to minimize the experiments, Taguchi-based L9 design of experiments were employed in this study with three factors and three levels su… Show more
“…Many studies have been conducted that have shown that the excellent corrosion resistance of titanium and titanium alloys in a wide range of environments is due to the formation of a dense and protective oxide film on the surface of the metal 44 – 47 , according to the Pourbaix E–pH diagram for titanium in water 48 , 49 , as shown in Fig. 14 .…”

“…Table 3 shows that the corrosion current on the surface of the two tested titanium alloys was relatively low, and all of the alloys had good corrosion resistance. …”
In order to investigate the influence of minor Ru on the electrochemical behaviour and structural characteristics of passive films on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloys under various oil and gas exploration conditions, electrochemical techniques, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and corrosion simulation tests were carried out. The results revealed that the oil and gas exploration conditions had a serious impact on the electrochemical behaviour and corrosion resistance of the tested alloys. The passivation film resistance and corrosion potential of the tested titanium alloys were significantly reduced with increasing acidity and temperature. With the addition of minor ruthenium, the potential of the passive film on the Ti-6Al-4V-0.11Ru alloy surface increased because of the high surface potential of the ruthenium element. The contents of metallic ruthenium and tetravalent titanium oxide TiO2 in the surface film of the Ti-6Al-4V-0.11Ru alloy both increased with increasing temperature, which led to increase the thickness, stability, corrosion resistance and repairability of the passive film on the surface of the Ti-6Al-4V-0.11Ru alloy being better than those qualities of Ti-6Al-4V. These results were also confirmed by corrosion simulation tests.
