Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, titanium is widely used in petroleum, chemical, salt production, pharmaceutical, metallurgy, electronics, aerospace, Marine and other related fields.
Titanium has excellent corrosion resistance to most salt solutions. For example,in chloride solution, titanium is more resistant to corrosion than high-chromium-nickel steel, but in aluminum trichloride, the corrosion rate is higher, which is related to the generation of concentrated hydrochloric acid by the hydrolysis of aluminum trichloride.
Titanium also has good stability to hot sodium chlorite and various concentrations of hypochlorite. Therefore, titanium is widely used in vacuum salt making and bleaching powder industry.
Titanium has good corrosion resistance to most alkali solutions. Titanium is relatively stable in sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide solutions with concentrations less than 50%.
Bango alloy professionals think that if the alkali solution contains chloride ions or chloride, the corrosion resistance of titanium is even greater than that of nickel and zirconium. Now the chlor-alkali industry is China’s largest civil titanium application field. http://www.chtitanium.com/Titanium
Titanium is not corrosion resistant in the dry chlorine, at the same time there is a risk of fire, but has a high stability in the wet chlorine, than zirconium, hartz alloy C and monel alloy, even in a saturated chlorine medium such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and chloride also stable, so the titanium is sulfuric acid method of choice for titanium white production of key equipment materials.

Due to titanium’s good corrosion resistance in hydrocarbons, even in conditions containing acids and chlorides, titanium is widely used in organic chemical industry, such as PTA (Pure terephthalic acid), PVA (Vinylon) and so on.
Titanium has excellent corrosion resistance in seawater, so titanium is also widely used in offshore oil drilling platforms, seawater desalination and other marine fields.
