Abstract

To understand the role of water on titanium SCC properties in methanol solutions, composition and structure of the passive film were studied using X-ray photoelectron and electrochemical impedance spectroscopies. The passive film consists of the inner compact layer and a porous outer layer. The inner layer thickness is less than 4nm and decreases with the increasing water content. Water improves the passive film properties, thus changes SCC susceptibility by altering the hydrogen bonding of methanol and reacting with titanium preferentially.
