This work studies the influence of the sintering conditions of a Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy on its corrosion performance. The alloy was vacuum sintered in different conditions of time and temperature. The density and microstructure (designating phase distribution) are evaluated. Corrosion resistance through electrochemical techniques (EIS) in 2 N and 6 N hydrochloric acid solutions, and oxidation resistance at 900, 1000 and 1100°C are appraised, and corrosion is studied by microstructural and X‐ray diffraction.
