The paper examines how the preliminary grinding of titanium hydride and the sintering temperature influence the mechanical characteristics of resultant titanium. The powder refinement is the dominant factor that defines the properties of titanium. The strength of titanium increases to 2470 MPa at the highest grinding energy, but its ductility is only 1–2%. The effect of sintering temperature is not so simple: there are two temperature ranges in which temperature dependence of the mechanical properties differs. At low sintering temperatures (780–800°C), the fine and active titanium particles resulting from the dissociation of titanium hydride lead to the rapid formation and growth of interparticle contacts. At high sintering temperatures, the densification of material increases by several times and, hence, impedes the removal of impurities from porous space. Rapid grain growth and dissolution of impurity oxygen in the titanium lattice occur in parallel, sharply increasing the strength and decreasing the ductility of titanium. The ratio of the grain growth and oxygen dissolution rates determines the resultant mechanical properties.
