Abstract
The effect of hydrogen addition on the deformation behavior of coarse-grained Ti-55 alloys (~ 20 μm) was studied by uniaxial tension tests at high temperature. The elongation of hydrogenated Ti-55 titanium alloy firstly increases and then decreases with hydrogen content increasing at 875 °C. The highest elongation of 243.8% is obtained in the hydrogenated alloy with 0.1 wt% H, and the peak stress reaches a minimum value of 29.0 MPa in the hydrogenated alloy with 0.3 wt% H. Compared with that of the unhydrogenated alloy, the elongation of the hydrogenated alloy with 0.1 wt% H increases by 41.3% and its peak stress decreases by 40.6% at 875 °C. Hydrogen addition can promote the transformation of β phase and the dislocation movement. Appropriate hydrogen content can evidently improve the deformation properties of coarse-grained Ti-55 titanium alloy.
