We study the corrosion behavior of VT6s titanium alloy with oxidized nitride layers in a 0.9% isotonic solution of NaCl at 36°С. It is shown that the corrosion resistance of the alloy is determined not by the thickness of the oxynitride film formed on the surface but by its chemical composition and, in particular, by the oxygen content.
