Titanium Corrosion

Institute for Energy Technology has worked for several years with corrosion and hydrogen absorption in titanium. This work has been focused particularly on offshore applications, where the most important limitations for titanium are crevice corrosion at elevated temperatures and hydrogen absorption in titanium components in structures with cathodic protection of carbon steel.
