Description

The corrosion and stress corrosion behavior of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy have been studied in hot corrosion environment. Four kinds of microstructures of this alloy i.e., equiaxed structure, lamellar structure, martensitic structure and bimodal structure were fabricated by thermomechanical processing and heat treatment. For these samples, high temperature tensile tests were carried out at 350 .deg. C, 400 .deg. C and 450 .deg. C. Eutectic hot salt immersion corrosion test and hot salt stress corrosion test were performed at the same temperatures in LiCl-KCI eutectic salt. The selective corrosion was found at lamellar and bimodal structure by eutectic salt environment and these structures had higher hot salt stress corrosion susceptibilities than those of martensitic and equiaxed structures
