A Study of Factors Affecting the Hydrogen Uptake Efficiency of Titanium in Sodium Hydroxide Solutions
SourceAn electrochemical technique is described for estimating the tendency of titanium to absorb hydrogen on prolonged exposure to caustic solutions. Unalloyed titanium appears to be quite resistant. A possibility of localized hydrogen absorption and corrosion due to iron contamination is described. Ways of avoiding this problem are suggested.
