Passive films play an important role in corrosion and stress corrosion cracking of titanium. Correlation between passive film-induced stress and film mechanical properties on alpha-Ti in methanol solution with varying water content was investigated. Film-induced stress in the methanol solution was measured by the flow stress differential method, and thin film fracture properties were determined by nanoindentation. For small amounts of water (<= 0.15%), both film-induced tensile stress and film fracture load were higher. However, the film-induced tensile stress and fracture load decreased significantly in more dilute solutions. Thus, water reduces Ti SCC susceptibility in methanol solution. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
