The chemical compositions and valence structures of the passive films were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The results show that the(TiZr)N-coated alloy displays distinctly decreased corrosion rate and increased impedance compared with Ti50 Zr alloy in nonfluoridated and fluoridated acidic solutions. Particularly, in the solution of pH = 3.9 and 0.15% NaF-containing, the corrosion protection efficiency of(TiZr)N coating reaches90%. The excellent corrosion resistance of the coated alloy is attributed to that the nanocrystallines in(TiZr)N coating decreases micropores and crack defects, which strongly impedes the corrosive ions diffusion and electrode process at Ti substrate/coating interface. Meanwhile,(TiZr)N coating shows good passivation behavior in acidic solution and active–passive transition behavior in fluoridated acidic solution.
