Investigation on Corrosion Tendency Behaviour of TA2 Titanium Alloy Welded Joints under Flow Scouring Conditions Using the Array Electrode Method
Anti-corrosion methods and materials(2023)
Abstract
Purpose - The corrosion behaviour of titanium alloy surface when fluid with different flow rates flows through welded joints with different residual heights was explored. Design/methodology/approach - The experiment uses a combination of array electrodes and simulation. Findings - It is found that when the weld reinforcement exists, the corrosion tendency of both ends of the weld metal is greater than that of other parts of the welded joint due to the influence of high turbulence kinetic energy and shear stress. The presence of weld reinforcement heights makes the fluid behind it fluctuate greatly. The passivation films of both the base metal (BM) at the rear and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) are more prone to corrosion than those of the front BM and HAZ, and the passivation film is rougher. Originality/value - The combination of test and simulation was used to explore the influence of electrochemical and hydrodynamic factors on the corrosion behaviour of titanium alloy-welded joints when welding residual height existed.
