Abstract

The TEM and HRTEM were utilized to investigate the phase transformation of hydrogenated Ti-6Al-4V alloys (0 wtpct-0.9 wt pct H) treated by annealing and quenching from β field. The results indicate that the orthorhombic α'' martensite and β phase appear progressively with the increase of hydrogen concentration. On the other hand, hydrides with sizes of 2-5 nm are observed in the specimens containing more than 0.6 wt pct hydrogen. The formation of α'' and twins can be attributed to the internal stress caused by solid solution of hydrogen and hydrides precipitation.
