Chloride SCC in Titanium

Stress corrosion cracking in chloride environments.

Quick Answer

CP grades resist chloride SCC. Alpha-beta alloys may SCC above 250°C.

Prevention

  • Maintain pH > 2
  • Limit temperature below 250°C
  • Use CP grades for SCC-critical parts

References

  • ASTM G36, NACE MR0175
