| Abstract |
| Titanium alloys are currently used in offshore industries. The titanium alloys used in offshore plants need to have excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties because offshore plants are exposed to harsh corrosive environments. At this time, the Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy is mainly used in offshore plants because it has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy has the disadvantage of poor formability. To improve this, studies on metastable beta-Titanium alloys with a BCC structure are being actively conducted. In this study, a metastable beta-titanium alloy was fabricated using Mo, which is inexpensive and improves corrosion resistance, and Fe, which improves strength, among the titanium beta stabilizer elements. After the Ti-6Al-4V ELI and Ti-xMo-2Fe alloys solution treatments, electrochemical corrosion experiments were conducted to analyze corrosion characteristics, and mechanical properties were also analyzed through compression tests at room temperature and Vickers hardness measurement. Corrosion properties and the mechanical properties of Ti-xMo-2Fe alloy were considered in connect experiments such as microstructure analysis and hardness measurement. It was confirmed that the corrosion resistance of the Ti-xMo-2Fe alloy was better than that of the Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy, and it was confirmed that the compressive strength and elongation rate of Ti-xMo-2Fe with its BCC structure get higher than Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy.
