Passive Films and Blistering of Titanium
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Coupons of titanium alloys under consideration as components of the Engineered Barrier System in the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain have been evaluatedfor their passive film composition and stability. Oxide depths and compositions on specimens exposed in long-term corrosion testing for one year were determined with x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The specimens removed from long-term testing, as well as separate coupons polarized cathodically in an electrochemical cell, exhibited blistering associated with hydride formation in both scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.
