Abstract
Zirconium and titanium are regarded as sister metals with excellent resistance to many corrosives. While these metals exhibit some similar corrosion properties, this paper discusses several major differences. The differences are found in chloride‐free acids, acidic chloride solutions, salt solutions, alkaline solutions and organics. They are caused by the differences between the protective oxide films of zirconium and titanium.
