Abstract
The corrosion of tantalum was investigated in sub- and supercritical oxidizing solutions of hydrochloric, sulfuric and phosphoric acid at temperatures between 360 and 500 °C. The corrosion rates in HCl and H_2SO_4 increased strongly above the critical temperature of water, which was attributed to a phase transformation from vitreous to crystalline Ta_2O_5. Corrosion rates in H_3PO_4 were low at all temperatures due to the formation of a top phosphate layer.
