Different kinetics of hydrogen absorption in T40 (grade 2) and TA6V ELI (grade 23) under cathodic polarization in artificial seawater have been highlighted. These polarizations were made by applying potentials from -0.8 to -1.8V/SCE in artificial seawater and NaCl solution. Four stages were identified and related in term of hydrogen ingress, hydrides formation and calcareous deposit growth. The formation of γ and δ-hydrides have been observed, localized and characterized using several techniques. On T40, hydrides form as a layer that increases the surface roughness and clusters form in the bulk after first moments of hydrogen absorption. Whereas in TA6V ELI, hydrogen is absorbed by β-phase leading to a volume expansion of this phase. Then after reaching the hydrogen solubility limit of β-phase, hydrides form on interfaces α/β or α/α and in α grains. For long durations, the hydrogen ingress is limited by the subsurface hydrides and the stabilized calcareous deposit. These different steps are time depend on processes which need to be tacked into account to improve knowledge of hydrogen embrittlement in titanium alloys.
