Abstract

The production of titanium is very expensive, so it is interesting to research technologies
that require lower costs, such as the HDH hydrogenation-dehydrogenation process
technology, which is used for cheaper powder production from the waste material of
titanium alloys.
This paper presents the hydrogenation procedure of a recycled piece of the Ti6Al7Nb
titanium alloy. Hydrogenation was carried out in a furnace for heat treatment at about
700oC in a hydrogen atmosphere. After hydrogenation, samples of the Ti-Al-Nb type alloy
were mechanically crushed by the grinding process to a granulation below 120 m.
