TY  - JOUR
AB  - Titanium is widely used in demanding applications, such as in aerospace. Its strength-to-weight ratio andcorrosion resistance make it well suited to highly stressed rotating components. Zirconium has a no lesscritical application where its low neutron capture cross section and good corrosion resistance in hot water andsteam make it well suited to reactor core use, including fuel cladding and structures. The similar metallurgicalbehaviour of these alloy systems make it alluring to compare and contrast their behaviour. This is rarelyundertaken, mostly because the industrial and academic communities studying these alloys have littleoverlap. The similarities with respect to hydrogen are remarkable, albeit potentially unsurprising, and so thispaper aims to provide an overview of the role hydrogen has to play through the material life cycle. Thisincludes the relationship between alloy design and manufacturing process windows, the role of hydrogen indegradation and failure mechanisms and some of the underpinning metallurgy. The potential role ofsome advanced experimental and modelling techniques will also be explored to give a tentative view ofpotential for advances in this field in the next decade or so.
