An investigation was made of thermotransport in technical-grade Ti and in a β-phase alloy (10.6Cr, 7.35Mo, 3.7wt%Al) by subjecting rods which contained about 0.01wt%H to a temperature gradient of 2K/mm (with 773 and 573K as end-temperatures) and by determining the H concentration profile along the length of the bar following annealing. The H was found to migrate to the colder parts of the specimens. It was found that thermotransport in Ti was governed by an activation energy of 6.9kcal/g-atom, while that in the alloy was governed by an energy of 6.3kcal/mol.
