| Abstract Scope |
The influence of hydrogen (H) in metals is of concern across a wide range of industries. At low concentrations of H, metals exhibit significant changes in material properties such as embrittlement, stress corrosion cracking, and fatigue. In titanium (Ti), H is known to cause embrittlement, largely stemming from alpha-Ti’s low room temperature solubility. However, elemental impurities such as iron complicate H behavior in commercial purity grades due to the formation of beta-Ti pockets. Thus, little is known about H influences in Ti materials that have minimal amounts of impurity elements. Therefore, this work investigates H behavior in Ti materials by utilizing Sieverts’ methods in conjunction with mechanical testing techniques to ascertain the influence of H with varying Ti purity. |
