COMPARISON OF CORROSION RESISTANCE OF ZIRCONIUM AND TITANIUM AND THEIR COMPLEMENTARITY IN APPLICATIONS

A comparison of the general and localized corrosion resistance for zirconium and titanium in various environments is summarized.Zirconium and titanium are complementary sister metals in corrosion resistance.They are important structural matenials under the conditions of high temperature,high pressure and heary corrosion chemical process.Their applications to urea,acetic acid and other chemical environments are compared and analysed.
