Titanium Hydride

Name:
Titanium Hydride
Detailed information:

M Formula:	TiH2
Properties:
Black, metallic powder that dissociates above 288C. The evolution of hydrogen is gradual and practically complete at 650C. D 3.8, attacked by strong oxidizing agents.
Derivation:
Direct combination of titanium with hydrogen, reduction of titanium oxide with calcium hydride in the presence of hydrogen above 600C.
Hazard:
Flammable, dangerous fire risk, dust may explode in presence of oxidizing agents.
Use:
Powder metallurgy, production of pure hydrogen (can contain 1800 cc (STP) H/cc of hydride), production of foamed metals, solder for metal-glass composites, electronic getter, reducing atmosphere for furnaces, hydrogenation agent, refractories.
