==Production==
In the commercial process for producing non-stoichiometric {{chem2|TiH_{2−''x''}|}}, titanium ] is treated with hydrogen gas at atmospheric pressure at between 300-500&nbsp;°C. Absorption of hydrogen is exothermic and rapid, changing the color of the sponge grey/black.

==Reactions==
{{chem2|TiH1.95}} is unaffected by water and air.{{citation needed|date=November 2023}} It is slowly attacked by strong acids and is degraded by hydrofluoric and hot sulfuric acids. It reacts rapidly with oxidizing agents, this reactivity leading to the use of titanium hydride in pyrotechnics.<ref name = "Ullmanns"/>

==Structure==
As {{chem2|TiH_{''x''}|}} approaches stoichiometry, it adopts a distorted body-centered tetragonal structure, termed the ε-form with an axial ratio of less than 1. This composition is very unstable with respect to partial thermal decomposition, unless maintained under a pure hydrogen atmosphere. Otherwise, the composition rapidly decomposes at room temperature until an approximate composition of {{chem2|TiH1.74}} is reached.{{citation needed|date=November 2023}} This composition adopts the fluorite structure, and is termed the δ-form, and only very slowly thermally decomposing at room temperature until an approximate composition of {{chem2|TiH1.47}} is reached, at which point, inclusions of the hexagonal close packed α-form, which is the same form as pure titanium, begin to appear.

The evolution of the dihydride from titanium metal and hydrogen has been examined in some detail. α-Titanium has a ] structure at room temperature. Hydrogen initially occupies tetrahedral interstitial sites in the titanium. As the H/Ti ratio approaches 2, the material adopts the β-form to a ], δ-form, the H atoms eventually filling all the tetrahedral sites to give the limiting stoichiometry of {{chem2|TiH2}}. The various phases are described in the table below.

If titanium hydride contains 4.0% hydrogen at less than around 40&nbsp;°C then it transforms into a ] (bct) structure called ε-titanium.<ref name="Fukai"/>

When titanium hydrides with less than 1.3% hydrogen, known as hypoeutectoid titanium hydride are cooled, the β-titanium phase of the mixture attempts to revert to the α-titanium phase, resulting in an excess of hydrogen. One way for hydrogen to leave the β-titanium phase is for the titanium to partially transform into δ-titanium, leaving behind titanium that is low enough in hydrogen to take the form of α-titanium, resulting in an α-titanium matrix with δ-titanium inclusions.

A metastable γ-titanium hydride phase has been reported.<ref name="NumakuraKoiwa1988">{{cite journal|last1=Numakura|first1=H|last2=Koiwa|first2=M|last3=Asano|first3=H|last4=Izumi|first4=F|title=Neutron diffraction study of the metastable γ titanium deuteride|journal=Acta Metallurgica|volume=36|issue=8|year=1988|pages=2267–2273|issn=0001-6160|doi=10.1016/0001-6160(88)90326-4}}</ref> When α-titanium hydride with a hydrogen content of 0.02-0.06% is ] rapidly, it forms into γ-titanium hydride, as the atoms "freeze" in place when the cell structure changes from hcp to fcc. γ-Titanium takes a body centred tetragonal (bct) structure. Moreover, there is no compositional change so the atoms generally retain their same neighbours.

==Hydrogen embrittlement in titanium and titanium alloys==
]

The absorption of hydrogen and the formation of titanium hydride are a source of damage to titanium and titanium alloys. This ] process is of particular concern when titanium and alloys are used as structural materials, as in nuclear reactors.

Hydrogen embrittlement manifests as a reduction in ] and eventually ] of titanium surfaces. The effect of hydrogen is to a large extent determined by the composition, metallurgical history and handling of the Ti and Ti alloy.<ref name="Donachie">{{cite book |last=Donachie |first=Matthew J. |year=2000 |title=Titanium: A Technical Guide|publisher=ASM International|isbn=978-0-87170-686-7}}</ref> CP-titanium ('''commercially pure''': ≤99.55% Ti content) is more susceptible to hydrogen attack than pure α-titanium. Embrittlement, observed as a reduction in ductility and caused by the formation of a solid solution of hydrogen, can occur in CP-titanium at concentrations as low as 30-40 ppm. Hydride formation has been linked to the presence of iron in the surface of a Ti alloy. Hydride particles are observed in specimens of Ti and Ti alloys that have been welded, and because of this welding is often carried out under an inert gas shield to reduce the possibility of hydride formation.<ref name="Donachie"/>

Ti and Ti alloys form a ], composed of a mixture of ], ] and ] oxides,<ref name="LuBernasek2000">{{cite journal|last1=Lu|first1=Gang|last2=Bernasek|first2=Steven L.|last3=Schwartz|first3=Jeffrey|title=Oxidation of a polycrystalline titanium surface by oxygen and water|journal=Surface Science|volume=458|issue=1–3|year=2000|pages=80–90|issn=0039-6028|doi=10.1016/S0039-6028(00)00420-9|bibcode=2000SurSc.458...80L}}</ref> which offers a degree of protection to hydrogen entering the bulk.<ref name="Donachie"/> The thickness of this can be increased by ], a process which also results in a distinctive colouration of the material. Ti and Ti alloys are often used in hydrogen containing environments and in conditions where hydrogen is reduced electrolytically on the surface. ], an acid bath treatment which is used to clean the surface can be a source of hydrogen.

== Uses ==
Common applications include ]s, ], ], as a laboratory ], as a ], and as a precursor to porous titanium. When heated as a mixture with other metals in ], titanium hydride releases hydrogen which serves to remove carbon and oxygen, producing a strong alloy.<ref name = "Ullmanns"/>

The ] of titanium hydride varies based on the alloying constituents, but for pure titanium hydride it ranges between 3.76 and 4.51 g/cm<sup>3</sup>.

Even in the narrow range of concentrations that make up titanium hydride, mixtures of hydrogen and titanium can form a number of different structures, with very different properties. Understanding such properties is essential to making quality titanium hydride. At ], the most stable form of titanium is the ] (HCP) structure α-titanium. It is a fairly hard metal that can dissolve only a small concentration of hydrogen, no more than 0.20 wt% at {{convert|464|C}}, and only 0.02% at {{convert|25|C}}. If titanium hydride contains more than 0.20% hydrogen at titanium hydride-making temperatures it transforms into a ] (BCC) structure called β-titanium. It can dissolve considerably more hydrogen, more than 2.1% hydrogen at {{convert|636|C}}. If titanium hydride contains more than 2.1% at {{convert|636|C}} then it transforms into a face-centred cubic (FCC) structure called δ-titanium. It can dissolve even more hydrogen, as much as 4.0% hydrogen {{convert|37|C}}, which reflects the upper hydrogen content of titanium hydride.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Setoyama |first1=Daigo |last2=Matsunaga |first2=Junji |last3=Muta |first3=Hiroaki |last4=Uno |first4=Masayohi |last5=Yamanaka |first5=Shinsuke |title=Mechanical properties of titanium hydride |journal=Journal of Alloys and Compounds|date=3 November 2004|volume=381|issue=1–2|pages=215–220 |doi=10.1016/j.jallcom.2004.04.073}}</ref>

There are many types of ] processes available to titanium hydride. The most common are ] and quenching. Annealing is the process of heating the titanium hydride to a sufficiently high temperature to soften it. This process occurs through three phases: ], ], and ]. The temperature required to anneal titanium hydride depends on the type of annealing. Annealing must be done under a hydrogen atmosphere to prevent ].
