Abstract

Mo-Ti alloys composed of a single bcc solid solution have been prepared by a sputter deposition technique. The corrosion resistance of the Mo-Ti alloys in 12 M HCl is extremely high, being superior to that of molybdenum and titanium metals. The Mo-Ti alloys are spontaneously passivated in 12 M HCl. The corrosion potential of these alloys is slightly lower than that of molybdenum. The spontaneously passivated film on the alloys is significantly enriched in tetravalent molybdenum, as a consequence of preferential dissolution of titanium. The angle-resolved XPS analysis reveals that there is a compositional gradient in the passive film; molybdenum ions are concentrated in the exterior of the passive films while the concentration of titanium increases in the interior of the films.
