In this work, XPS investigations on the composition of anodic films electrochemically grown on heat‐treated Ti‐50Zr (at.%) and Ti‐13Zr‐13Nb (wt.%) alloys in 0.15 mol dm −3 Na 2 SO 4 at room temperature are reported. The XPS analyses on anodic films of different thicknesses revealed for both alloys a gradual enrichment of the oxide film in Ti as the film thickness was increased. For the thickest oxide films, this Ti enrichment in the oxide was about 8% for the Ti‐13Nb‐13Zr alloy and about 9% for the Ti‐50Zr alloy, when compared with the nominal values for both alloys determined by inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP‐AES).
