EFFECT OF HYDROGEN ON THE FATIGUE PROPERTIES OF TITANIUM AND Ti-8 Pct Mn ALLOY

Journal Article · · Trans. Met. Soc. AIME
OSTI ID:4309265
Hydrogen additions of 390 ppm to A-55 titanium and 368 ppm to Ti--8 pct Mn have no deleterious effect on the unnotched and notched rotating-beam fatigue properties of these materials. These amounts of hydrogen, however, are sufficient to cause severe notch-impact embrittlement in A-55 titanium and pronounced loss of tensile ductility in Ti--8 pct Mn. The lack of embrittling effect in fatigue in the latter alloy is consistent with the postulated strainaging mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement in alpha - method of ga alloys. There is a significant increase in the unnotcbed endurance limit of A-55 titanium with the addition of hydrogen. This increase may be explained as the result of internal heating effects which would dissolve the hydride and cause solid- solution strengthening. (auth)
