| Abstract Scope |
To limit hydride formation induced embrittlement modes in titanium alloys, here in this talk we will discuss different surface and microstructure design strategies. More specifically, we will explore surface roughening, desorption, and microstructure refining as potential strategies. In each of these explorations, we introduce embrittlement effects by charging hydrogen electro-chemically, induce relevant changes in surface and microstructure systematically, and study resulting changes using various damage assessment approaches, including in-situ tests. |
