This is the final report for a program which was initiated in 1976 to systematically evaluate the influence of hydrogen on mechanical properties of alpha titanium alloys. In the second year of the program (1977), the effort was extended to include work on the properties of fine grain aluminum alloys. Both segments of the extended program have yielded promising results which are summarized in this report. Among the more important results have been a demonstration of high sustained-load cracking rates and an acceleration of fatigue crack propagation rates by tensile hold periods in Ti-6Al containing modest amounts of hydrogen. The study of fine grain aluminum alloys has demonstrated a marked increase in exfoliation corrosion resistance in 7075 Al with fine equiaxed grain, as compared to standard commercial products. Both of these observations have important implications for the structural efficiency of Ti and Al alloys as airframe materials. (Jensen)
