Titanium is one of the materials that presents corrosion resistance to acid,
saline and most of fuels; it also has an important mechanical resistance, thanks
to these properties are mainly use in the aeronautical, medical and chemistry
industry. Different authors have been interested in studying this material mainly
in presence of chloride ions solutions and saline synthetic solutions in order to
avoid corrosion of said material. At present, few authors have been interested
in the study of corrosion with purpose of using it as a method of obtaining
electrochemically active surfaces, which can be used as substrates for the
selective deposition of metal ions. In the present work, the results of the study
of the energetic conditions for the controlled production of titanium pits, in
corrosive medium rich in chlorides, in order to elaborate electrodes of modified
surfaces that can be use in specific technological developments. A flat
electrochemical cell of three electrodes was assembled using titanium samples
as working electrode, saturated calomel (SCE) as reference electrode and a
graphite bar as auxiliary electrode; then, the electrochemical cell was coupled to
a potentiostat-galvanostat GAMRY to perform the electrochemical techniques of
Potentiodynamic Polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
were used for pitting generation. The obtained surface was characterized with
Scanning Electron Microscopy.
