Abstract High strength-to-weight ratio Ti-6Al-4V alloy is used in many engineering applications. Its surface oxide film can protect the substrate from interaction with a lot of corrosive environments. Unfortunately, this surface layer can be damaged under mechanical and chemical actions with a consequent reduction in corrosion resistance. A characterization of the untreated alloy under quasi-static loading is here provided. Inert and aggressive environments have been investigated and the influence of the notch geometry of the alloy has also been analyzed.
