Corrosion Resistance of Titanium to Acetic Acid
The commercially pure titanium (unalloyed titanium) ASTM grades 1 to 4 can be used for applications involving acetic acid, or acetic acid combined with acetic anhydride, chlorine ion, or formic acid. The corrosion data for grade 1, grade 2, grade 3 and grade 4 titanium in various acetic acid solutions are presented in below table.
Medium | Concentration, % | Temperature, °C | Corrosion Rate, mm/yr |
---|---|---|---|
Acetic Acid | 5~99.7 | 124 | nil |
Acetic Acid | 33~vapor | boiling | nil |
Acetic Acid | 99 | boiling | 0.003 |
Acetic Acid | 65 | 121 | 0.003 |
Acetic Acid | 58 | 130 | 0.381 |
Acetic Acid | 99.7 | 124 | 0.003 |
Acetic Acid + 3% acetic anhydride | Glacial | 204 | 1.02 |
Acetic Acid + 1.5% acetic anhydride | Glacial | 204 | 0.005 |
Acetic Acid + 109 ppm Cl- | 31.2 | boiling | 0.259 |
Acetic Acid + 106 ppm Cl- | 62.0 | boiling | 0.272 |
Acetic Acid + 5% formic acid | 58 | boiling | 0.457 |
