Abstract: The microstructure of hydrogenated Ti-6Al-4V alloy is studied by an optical microscope, and its phase transformations are analyzed during the hydrogenating treatment by X-ray diffraction(XRD). The deformation behavior of the hydrogenated Ti-6Al-4V alloy is investigated through compression tests at room temperature, and jumptests are performed, too. The results show that the presence of hydrogen in the alloy promotes the formation of martensite α″ and metastable phase β, and the formation and transition of metastable phase β is the major factor for the improvement of processability of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Compared with the as-received alloy, the peak stress of hydrogenated Ti-6Al-4V with 0.60% H to 0.90% H decreases by 60 MPa and its compression limit improves by over 40%. When the hydrogen content reaches 0.80%, 90°sunk screws of diameter φ 10 mm can be prepared from Ti-6Al-4V by alloy jumptests at room temperature.
