Reviewers' comments:

%ATTACH_FOR_REVIEWER_DEEP_LINK INSTRUCTIONS%


Reviewer #5: In this paper, with hydrogenation experiments, the author elucidated whether the presence of two or more phases in the microstructure is vital for the voids to form, and verified that void formation was not affected by a specific hydrogenation cell setup and and the formation of black residues. Therefore, the author proposed possible mechanisms for hydrogen-induced formation of microvoids and bubbles in titanium-based alloys. It is very meaningful research. So the reviewer recommends its publication on International Journal of Hydrogen Energy after some mini revisions:
1.The author should check carefully the whole paper to avoid input errors, such as incomplete brackets appeared in the abstract.
2.The abbreviation "CP-Ti" appears at first time in page 2 of the manuscript, but the author did not provide its full name, which should be revised. it is also suggested for the author to check the manuscript to prevent the phenomenon.  



Reviewer #7: The manuscript describes an experimental study to account for the occurrence of microvoids in Titanium-Based Alloys. The contents are well organized and makes sense. I suggest publication of the manuscript as it is.

A Data in Brief article (which will be reviewed, formatted, indexed, and given a DOI) will make your data easier to find, reproduce, and cite.

You can submit to Data in Brief via the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy submission system when you upload your revised International Journal of Hydrogen Energy manuscript. To do so, complete the template and follow the co-submission instructions found here: www.elsevier.com/dib-template.
