Investigating the activation of passive metals by a combined in-situ AFM and Raman spectroscopy system: a focus on titanium

Abstract Understanding the main steps involved in the activation of passive metals is an extremely important subject in the mechanical and energy industry and generally in surface science. The titanium-H2SO4 system is particularly useful for this purpose, as the metal can either passivate or corrode...
