Phase-dependent corrosion reversal in Ti-6Ta and pure titanium: Tantalum-regulated passive film dynamics in nitric acid vapor/liquid environments
This study demonstrates a significant reversal in the phase-preference for optimal corrosion resistance between Ti-6Ta and pure titanium in the vapor and liquid phases of hot 6 M HNO₃. Ti-6Ta exhibits superior corrosion resistance and repassivation ability in the liquid phase compared to the vapor phase, whereas pure titanium shows enhanced performance in the vapor phase compared to the liquid phase. This reversal behavior can be attributed to the phase-dependent composition of the passive films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis reveals that the liquid-phase passive film on Ti-6Ta has a significantly higher content of protective oxides (12 % Ta₂O₅, 37.3 % TiO₂) compared to the vapor-phase film (10.9 % Ta₂O₅, 29.7 % TiO₂). In contrast, the liquid-phase film on pure titanium retains a lower protective TiO₂ content (46.4 %) than that in its vapor-phase film (54.9 %). First-principles calculations indicate that tantalum enhances corrosion resistance by elevating surface work function, increasing oxygen vacancy formation energy, and promoting dense Ta₂O₅-TiO₂ composite passive films with phase-dependent composition. These findings provide theoretical guidance for material selection in nuclear reprocessing equipment, suggesting Ti-6Ta for liquid-immersed components and pure titanium for vapor-dominant zones to enhance corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness in multiphase environments.
