When connected to a more anodic material, titanium may suffer severe __________.
When connected to a more anodic material, titanium may suffer severe corrosion. This is because, in such a galvanic couple, titanium, being the more cathodic material, will prompt the anodic material to corrode itself and protect the titanium. However, if titanium becomes the anodic material due to an unfavorable environment or conditions, it will undergo accelerated corrosion.
When connected to a more anodic material, titanium may suffer severe hydriding embrittlement. Generally, the problem occurs at temperatures above 165 °F (75 °C).
