Abstract: The ebct of hydrogenation-dehydrogenation on the microstructure of forping Ti-24Al14Nb-3V-0.5MO alloy was investigated by TEM and X-ray ddection. The resultsshowed that the microstructure consists of O and B2 phases as received materials, and tmoprmation of B2 phase to O phase can be eNctively promoted 6y hydrogenation. The lamellate γ hydride was found in O phase with more hydmpen content, and this γ hydride could be decomposed by dehydmpenation treatment. The sole fine Ophase could be obtained 6y hydmpenation-dehydmpenation treatment, and two possible mechanisms for the microstructure improvetnent have been discussed on the basis of experimental results.
