The corrosion rate of titanium alloys in liquid indium did not depend on passivation. In indium--gallium, the corrosion of nonpassivated Ti alloy was the same as that of Ti metal, but passivation decreased the rate of Ti metal 25-fold while having no effect on the alloys. The quality of the oxide film on the alloy was not so good as that on the metal due to the complex composition. Reduction of titanium oxide by Al may destroy the oxide film. Solubility data of alloyed steel showed that, with increasing Cr content, the corrosion rate of steel decreased, possibly because of trivalent Cr in the surface film. The temperature interval of compatibility of alloyed steel in indium--gallium alloys is limited by the rate of processes that determine the formation of intermetallic compounds on the surface of construction materials. Stable types of steel are mentioned. (TTT)
