    Analysis of phase transformations in hydrogenated titanium metals by non-isothermal dilatometry
    (2011) Abbas, Naseeba; Knutsen, Robert D
    Hydrogen was used as a temporary alloying element in CP Ti and Ti-6AI-4V. The microstructural evolution and phase transformations were monitored, before, during and after hydrogenation with in-situ dilatometric testing. Wrought CP Ti and Ti-6AI-4V specimens were pre-annealed and experienced four consecutive thermal cycles (Cycles 1-4) i.e. hydrogenation, post-hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and post-dehydrogenation, during dilatometric testing. The specimen in each thermal cycle was heated to 1000°C, heating rate 1°C/min (with an isothermal hold at 1000°C for three hours for hydrogenation and dehydrogenation cycles) and then cooled to room temperature at cooling rate of 1°C/min.
