Beta-processed near-alpha titanium alloys with a large colony microstructure were found to be susceptible to internal hydrogen embrittlement under conditions of sustained loading or fatigue cycling with a dwell period at peak load. The embrittlement occurs by localized increases in hydrogen content at the tips of long, blocked shear bands developed during time-dependent plastic deformation. The key microstructural features responsible for the embrittlement process have been determined to be a large transformed beta colony size and a fine, discontinuous distribution of beta phase within the colony. Alpha-beta alloys that contain thick, continuous beta platelets were determined to be immune to embrittlement. The results are consistent with a previously-proposed model for the embrittlement process.
