Titanium corrosion in molten glasses : Part 1: Immersion tests and corrosion kinetics

Abstract

The kinetics and mechanisms of pure titanium corrosion in three glass melts are investigated in the 1050 to 1400 °C temperature range by Immersion tests. The corrosion layers formed at the metal/glass interface, the elemental concentration profiles in the glass and the corrosion rates are determined. Corrosion rates are reported on an Arrhenius diagram for each glass.
