Abstract

A thermogravimetric method was applied to study the hydrogen uptake in the near-β-titanium alloy Ti 10 2 3 and the metastable β-titanium alloy Ti 21S. The tests were performed in H2-He gas mixtures with various partial pressures of H2 at temperatures between 600 and 800°C.

Basic findings such as the decreasing solubility of H2 with increasing temperature could be verified, and first information on the effects of surface conditions was gained. Thus, it could be shown that, despite the low atomic mass of hydrogen, thermogravimetry is an appropriate tool for investigation of the H2/metal interactions of titanium alloys.
