Hydrogen Contamination in Titanium and Titanium Alloys. Part 4. The Effect of Hydrogen on the Mechanical Properties and Control of Hydrogen in Titanium Alloys

Abstract

A comprehensive investigation of hydrogen in titanium alloy was carried out. Tests were conducted to gain an insight into the mechanism of the slow-strain embrittlement of titanium alloys by hydrogen, and a tentative condition to determine the effect of composition on the tendency toward hydrogen embrittlement was also studied. In addition to studying the effects of titanium and methods of removing hydrogen from titanium were investigated. Included were investigations of low pressure solubility, degassing methods, and the pickup of hydrogen from various atmospheres.
