Abstract

Titanium–steel composite plates offer cost-effective corrosion resistance for marine applications. This chapter examines TA2–Q345B composite plates in simulated marine environments, focusing on galvanic/crevice corrosion at the interfaces. Using electrochemical and microstructural analyses, we investigate how surface defects (pits, scratches) compromise protective oxide layers, accelerating localized corrosion. The research provides insights into defect-induced corrosion mechanisms and interfacial behavior, supporting improved composite plate design for harsh marine conditions.
