文摘

The influence of the structural-phase state of grain boundaries in a Ti4Al2V (commercial PT3V grade) pseudo-alpha-titanium alloy on its susceptibility to hot-salt intergranular corrosion (IGC) has been studied. It is established that IGC-tested alloy samples exhibit corrosion-induced defects of two types. More extended defects of the first type occur at the V-rich boundaries of coarse grains, while short defects of the second type reside at the grain boundaries with composition close to that of the grain body. The existence of the two types of IGC defects is explained by the classical theory of galvanic microcouples (microcells), according to which the IGC intensity is proportional to the difference of corrosion-active impurity concentrations between the grain boundary and body.
