In this study, two-phase ({alpha}{sub 2} + {gamma}) titanium aluminides were thermally charged with hydrogen, and the hydrogen solubility and the hydrogen evolution behavior were investigated by means of thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). Hydrogen solubility of two-phase (Ti{sub 3}Al + TiAl) titanium aluminides occurred endothermically. A heat of solution for hydrogen dissolution in a Ti-50Al alloy was estimated to be 36.4 kJ/mol and that for a Ti-45 Al alloy was 58.3 kJ/mol in the temperatures range of 723 K to 843 K. At higher temperature, hydrogen solubility was not fitted well with Arrhenius type plots mainly because of oxidation. It was suggested from thermal desorption spectrums that there were three kinds of dissolution states for hydrogen in the alloys.
