We show the possibility of controlling the structure of titanium alloys of different classes by means of their thermohydrogen treatment and consider the process of structure formation in shaped castings of VT20L alloy under additional alloying with hydrogen. Depending on the hydrogen content in the course of thermohydrogen treatment, the transformation of a course-lamellar structure into a fine-lamellar one with α-particle sizes from several micrometers to nanometers is possible. We describe the mechanism of phase and structural transformations in titanium alloys with a heightened content of β-eutectoid stabilizers (Ti-12Cr) or aluminum (VT6, VT23) under the action of hydrogen. We also show the possibility of producing a composite structure of the β-phase and TiCr2 intermetallic compound or noncoherent particles of the α2-and α-phases, depleted with aluminum.
