The hydrogen sorption and desorption behavior in spherical powder of pure titanium used for additive manufacturing have been investigated. The dependencies of oxide dissolution time and hydrogen sorption rate on pressure and temperature have been obtained. The main regularities of phase formation in titanium powder during hydrogenation until hydrogen concentration 4 wt% have been showed. The peculiarities of hydrogen desorption from the spherical powder of titanium with hydrogen concentration 4 wt% have been demonstrated. (C) 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
