Hydrogen embrittlement of grade 2 and grade 3 titanium has been investigated in 6%NaCl (pH=1) under potential control at 70°C. Grade 2 titanium was, at most, slightly susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement under the testing condhions employed, whereas grade 3 titanium was very susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement at an electrochemical potential below...
Key Words: Titanium, NaCl solution, hydride and hydrogen embrittlement.
