Abstract
The mechanical properties of titanium–hydrogen solid solution (0–7.84 at.% H) were studied to reveal the influence of hydrogen on the
characteristics of titanium. The elastic moduli such as Young’s and shear moduli of titanium–hydrogen solid solution decreased with increasing
of hydrogen content. The influence of hydrogen content for decreasing of elastic moduli was independent of temperature. The microhardness
for the solid solution was also decreased with increasing of hydrogen content. The electronic structure of the titanium–hydrogen solid solution
was evaluated by a first principle molecular orbital calculation. The mechanical properties of titanium–hydrogen solid solution were discussed
in terms of the calculation results.
