In this paper, the corrosion resistance and corrosion behavior of four TC4-xNi-yNb (x, y = 0, 0.5) alloys were investigated in a 1 mol\/L HCl solution through microscopic characterization, electrochemical tests and corrosion weight loss testing. The results demonstrated that the addition of Ni and Nb elements could improve the corrosion resistance of TC4 alloy to varying degrees. The addition of niobium formed niobium oxide in the passive film, while the addition of nickel thickened the passive film without formation of nickel oxides. The improvement of corrosion resistance of TC4 by nickel is more significant. Finally, a new highly corrosion resistant alloy TC4-0.5Ni-0.5Nb is preferred.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma18020246","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,8]],"date-time":"2025-01-08T07:40:13Z","timestamp":1736322013000},"page":"246","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Effect of Ni and Nb Elements on Corrosion Resistance and Behavior of TC4 Alloy in Hydrochloric Acid"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Kaikai","family":"Xiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Baoji Titanium Industry Company Limited, Baoji 600456, China"},{"name":"BAOTI Group Company Limited, Baoji 721014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinpeng","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soleras Advanced Coatings BV, 201 JinShan Road, Jiangyin 214437, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongqiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baoji Titanium Industry Company Limited, Baoji 600456, China"},{"name":"BAOTI Group Company Limited, Baoji 721014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baoji Titanium Industry Company Limited, Baoji 600456, China"},{"name":"BAOTI Group Company Limited, Baoji 721014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weizhong","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baoji Titanium Industry Company Limited, Baoji 600456, China"},{"name":"BAOTI Group Company Limited, Baoji 721014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xingyu","family":"Ou-Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GRIMAT Engineering Institute Company Limited, Beijing 101407, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0947-3475","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GRIMAT Engineering Institute Company Limited, Beijing 101407, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenjun","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GRIMAT Engineering Institute Company Limited, Beijing 101407, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Songxiao","family":"Hui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GRIMAT Engineering Institute Company Limited, Beijing 101407, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1038\/s41529-017-0003-4","article-title":"Materials and corrosion trends in offshore and subsea oil and gas production","volume":"1","author":"Iannuzzi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Npj Mater.
