Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a method for hydrogen enhanced atomic transport. The method includes positioning a mold holding titanium metal particles of a titanium metallic powder in a chamber and, after flowing a gas mixture comprising hydrogen over the titanium metal particles in the chamber, positioning the chamber in a furnace that is preheated at a target temperature, where the target temperature is at least a decomposition temperature of titanium hydride. While maintaining the flow of the gas mixture, the titanium metal particles are heated to create a metallic product.
