Abstract
Erosion-corrosion behaviour of pure Tantalum (Ta) was investigated using corrosive slurry solutions (pH 4, 7, and 10) containing 7 wt% SiC as erodent particles. Tests were carried out using an impinging jet erosion-corrosion apparatus with a jet velocity of 5 ms−1 and at two impact angles (30° and 90°). Under particle bombardment conditions, a marked reduction in corrosion resistance offered by Ta was observed amid a significant cathodic shift in the ECorr values for all pH values investigated. Results showed that interaction between erosion and corrosion was higher under 30° impact leading to a higher rate of material removal. On the contrary, negative synergism was observed for experimental conditions of normal impact for pH 7 and pH 10. Scanning electron microscopy studies revealed typical ductile erosion mechanisms of material removal which consisted of dominating micro-cutting for 30° and plastic deformation resulting in lip formation for normal impact angle. These appeared to be assisted by dissolution of weakened areas and passive layer removal as corrosion mechanisms. Potentiostatic erosion-corrosion experiments were utilised for calculation of synergistic and antagonistic effects and have been presented in the paper.
