Corrosion issues of titanium metal
Thread Content
Corrosion of titanium metal is severe during the distillation process in acetic acid solutions containing bromide ions; generally, the lifespan of such titanium components is only 2-3 years. Do any of you have other methods to better prevent corrosion?
I have the same question. Could you tell me whether Br-acetic acid causes significant corrosion of titanium? I have a PTA oxidation reactor at 286 degrees, 1.4 Mpa, with a Br ion concentration of 167 ppm. Will it cause significant corrosion thinning or pitting of the titanium material?
Under aerobic conditions, bromide ions do cause corrosion of titanium, but the corrosion is much less severe
