Corrosion characteristics of commercially pure Ti and Ti–6Al–4V alloy manufactured with press-and-sinter powder metallurgy are studied in HCl and H$_2$SO$_4$ water solutions with acid concentrations up to 80%. Changing of powder metallurgy processing parameters (powder size, compaction and vacuum sintering regimes) results in a number of structural conditions of produced materials with different residual porosity (1 to 5%) and grain sizes. As shown, the residual porosity of sintered titanium alloys is a key microstructure factor affecting corrosion resistance. Increase in total porosity and pore sizes leads to higher corrosion rate, while decreased porosity (1–2%) and minimized pore size is useful for improvement of corrosion characteristics. Optimization of material microstructure provides corrosion resistance of produced titanium-based materials sufficient for practice application in aggressive environments at chemical industries.
Key words: titanium alloys, powders, pores, microstructure, acid environment, corrosion resistance.
