Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A titanium alloy including by mass %, a platinum group metal: 0.01 to 0.15% and a rare earth metal: 0.001 to 0.10%, with the balance being Ti and impurities. The titanium alloy preferably includes as a partial replacement for Ti, Co: 0.05 to 1.00% by mass, and the content of the platinum group metal is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 0.05% by mass. Furthermore, it is preferred that the platinum group metal be Pd and the rare earth metal be Y. Consequently, it is possible to provide a titanium alloy having corrosion resistance comparable to or better than that of the conventional art as well as good workability while offering an economic advantage with a lower content of platinum group metal or an advantage of less likelihood of corrosion growth originating at defects such as flaws that occurred in the surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A titanium alloy consisting of, by mass %, Pd as a platinum group metal: 0.01 to 0.15% and one or more selected from the group consisting of Y, La, Ce, Pr, and Nd as a rare earth metal: 0.001 to 0.0095%, with the balance being Ti and impurities, wherein, in a multiple crevice test, the titanium alloy does not suffer corrosion attack in any crevice site under a condition of 250 g/L NaCl, pH=2 adjusted with HCL, 150° C., saturated atmosphere, retained 240 hours. 2. A titanium alloy consisting of, by mass %, Pd as a platinum group metal: 0.01 to 0.15% and one or more selected from the group consisting of Y, La, Ce, Pr, and Nd as a rare earth metal: 0.001 to 0.0095%, with the balance being Ti and impurities, wherein Co is included, as a partial replacement for Ti, in an amount of 0.05 to 1.00% by mass, wherein, in a multiple crevice test, the titanium alloy does not suffer corrosion attack in any crevice site under a condition of 250 g/L NaCl, pH=2 adjusted with HCL, 150° C., saturated atmosphere, retained 240 hours. 3. A titanium alloy consisting of, by mass %, Ru as a platinum group metal: 0.01 to 0.15% and one or more selected from the group consisting of La, Ce, Pr and Nd as a rare earth metal: 0.001 to 0.0084%, with the balance being Ti and impurities, wherein, in a multiple crevice test, the titanium alloy does not suffer corrosion attack in any crevice site under a condition of 250 g/L NaCl, pH=2 adjusted with HCl, 150° C., saturated atmosphere, retained 240 hours. 4. A titanium alloy consisting of, by mass %, Ru as a platinum group metal: 0.01 to 0.15% and one or more selected from the group consisting of La, Ce, Pr and Nd as a rare earth metal: 0.001 to 0.0084%, with the balance being Ti and impurities, wherein Co is included, as a partial replacement for Ti, in an amount of 0.05 to 1.00% by mass, wherein, in a multiple crevice test, the titanium alloy does not suffer corrosion attack in any crevice site under a condition of 250 g/L NaCl, pH=2 adjusted with HCl, 150° C., saturated atmosphere, retained 240 hours.
