Conclusions
It was observed for the first time that titanium diboride oxidizes in steam at temperatures not exceeding 100°C. Qualitatively, the degree of oxidation, which depends on its duration, can be determined only by electron microscopy and, less accurately, by the petrographic technique. Oxidation is more intense in boiling water than in steam. This may be a consequence of partial elution of the oxide film being formed and exposure of fresh surfaces to the oxidizing environment. Under these conditions, the oxidation reaction takes place at the titanium diboride oxidizing environment interface.
