Abstract

Abstract Corrosion of ASTM Grade 2 Ti in alkaline peroxide environments was studied by a combination of experiments utilizing weight loss measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance (LPR), and potentiodynamic polarography. A corrosion mechanism was proposed, based on peroxide concentration and reaction of the oxide with the perhydroxyl ion (OOH−), that accounted for oxide dissolution or thickening, depending on the solution chemistry. It was found that hot alkaline peroxide solutions offer the possibility of acting as nonhydrogen-generating pickling solutions for industrial cleaning and preparation of Ti surfaces.
