Abstract
The thermal properties (heat capacity, thermal diffusivity and heat co nductivity) of Ti-H alloys were studied in the range of compositions f rom af to TiH in am attempt to reveal the beneficial effect of hydroge n on the machinability of titanium and its alloys. At temperatures typ ical of the cutting zone (about 700 degrees C), increasing the hydroge n content significantly increases the heat conductivity, thus preventi ng overheating of this zone.
