Titanium hydride (TiH₂) is a high-purity inorganic compound known for its excellent hydrogen storage capacity, thermal stability, and reactivity. It is widely used in metallurgy, hydrogen storage systems, powder metallurgy, and specialized material research. Due to its superior chemical properties, titanium hydride plays a crucial role in precision engineering, industrial applications, and scientific innovation.
Product Overview
Titanium Hydride (TiH2) is a stable gray or black powder widely used in the titanium metal hydrogenation process. It is produced by reacting hydrogen gas with titanium powder, and exists primarily in the TiH2 form, possessing unique structural properties. Titanium hydride is a brittle material and requires special processing techniques, such as hydrogen treatment or ball milling, for industrial applications. Its stoichiometric composition is close to TiH2, but it can decompose into various titanium hydride variants at high temperatures.
Product Features
- Stability:TiH2 is a gray or black powder that demonstrates good stability, especially in a pure hydrogen atmosphere.
- Hydrogenation Capability:It is formed through the reaction of hydrogen gas with titanium powder, offering high hydrogen absorption capacity.
- High-Temperature Decomposition:At near-stoichiometric levels, TiH2 has a distorted body-centered tetragonal structure and is prone to decomposition.
- Storage Requirements:Should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated environment, away from high temperatures and oxidation.
- Decomposition and Transformation:During decomposition, TiH2 transforms into various compositions, such as TiH1.74, eventually adopting the hexagonal close-packed α-form.
Applications
Titanium hydride has a broad range of applications in both industrial and research fields, including:
- Titanium Metal Processing:Used in the hydrogenation treatment of titanium and in the production process of titanium hydrides.
- Hydride Material Preparation:Serves as a base material for the preparation of hydrogenated materials, widely applied in gas storage, catalysts, and other fields that require titanium hydride materials.
- Laboratory Research:In laboratories, TiH2 is commonly used as a subject of study for metal hydrides, specifically for experiments involving hydrogen storage and release processes.
