concentrations from 100 to 700 g/m . Specifically, titanium dust concentrations were tested at seven discrete levels (100, 200,

300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 g/m ), while hydrogen volume fractions were selected at eight critical values (4%, 5%, 10%, 15%,
20%, 25%, 29%, and 30%). Dynamic parameters, including explosion pressure and rate of explosion pressure rise, were
synchronously recorded. Furthermore, the phase composition and surface chemical states of explosion residues were
characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This integrated approach provides
in-depth insights into the macroscopic evolution of explosion intensity with varying gas-solid ratios and elucidates the
underlying microscopic reaction mechanisms. Experimental results demonstrate that hydrogen volume fraction critically
modulates explosion severity. The explosion pressure exhibits a characteristic three-stage dependence on hydrogen volume
fraction: it initially decreases, reaching a minimum at 4% H , subsequently increases to a maximum at 29% H , and finally

declines at higher volume fractions. Correspondingly, the maximum rate of pressure rise rate decreases to its lowest value at
4% H before increasing continuously up to 30% H . The maximum explosion pressure shows an analogous trend, peaking at

29% H after an initial reduction, while the maximum rate of pressure rise reaches its minimum at 4% H and peaks at 30% H .

Residue analysis indicates that at low hydrogen volume fraction (<4%), incomplete oxidation of titanium predominates,
thereby reducing explosion intensity. Beyond the critical threshold of 4% H , hydrogen self-combustion promotes titanium-
2
nitrogen reactions and facilitates the transition from heterogeneous to homogeneous combustion, significantly enhancing
explosion severity. This investigation provides fundamental insights into the explosion dynamics of hydrogen/titanium dust
mixtures and delivers essential parameters for risk assessment and safety mitigation in related industrial applications.
