Titanium is currently widely used in saline water pipelines, and its corrosion resistance should be no problem; the units in my factory have been in use for 14 years and are still in good condition.
Titanium is used very well in the salt production industry
Titanium performs well in oxidizing environments; otherwise, it will corrode.
Titanium is resistant to saltwater corrosion, but at higher temperatures it can react with many elements and compounds. Various elements can be divided into four categories based on their different reactions with titanium: The first category includes halogens and chalcogen elements, which form covalent and ionic compounds with titanium ； Category 2: Transition elements, hydrogen, beryllium, the boron group, the carbon group, and the nitrogen group elements form intermetallic compounds and limited solid solutions with titanium ； Third category: Zirconium, hafnium, vanadium group elements, chromium group elements, scandium, and titanium form infinite solid solutions ； Category 4: Inert gases, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, rare earth elements (except scandium), actinides, thorium, etc., do not react with titanium or react only to a minimal extent.
