ABSTRACT:
The invention provides (1) a titanium alloy with excellent corrosion resistance consisting essentially of 10-40 wt % of Mo, 0.1-15 wt % of Cr, and the balance of Ti and unavoidable impurities and (2) a titanium alloy according to (1) which further contains 0.01-2.0 wt % (in total) of Ru, Ir, Os, Pd, Pt, or/and Rh. The addition of Mo allows Ti-based alloys to form on the surface a protective film with a high concentration of Mo, whereby their corrosion resistance in non-oxidizing acids, such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acids, is markedly improved. In environments where oxidants are present, even but a few ppm in amount, Mo comes out in solution, seriously affecting the corrosion resistance of the alloys. To avoid this, Cr must also be added. The addition of Cr helps keep Mo from dissolving out and thereby prevent the deterioration of corrosion resistance by the action of oxidants in the environments. The platinum group elements, singly or in combination, further improve the corrosion resistance.
