Conclusions
The hydrogenation-dehydrogenation method offers an effective means of producing industrial titanium alloys in powder form. It has been established that hydride-grade titanium alloy powders meet, without charge enrichment, the chemical composition requirements laid down by technical standards for VT20 and VT9 industrial alloys. The H-D process brings about changes in the phase composition and structure of alloys: The amount of the β-phase diminishes, and the alloy structure becomes more fine-grained. Consequently, by varying H-D process parameters it is possible to exercise control over the properties of powders.
