Abstract

Hydrogen retention in vanadium and its binary alloys with titanium are investigated by means of hydrogen thermal desorption spectrometry. The samples are saturated with hydrogen for 2000 h at a temperature of 620 K in an autoclave, where hydrogen is fed at a pressure of 16.8 MPa. It is shown that in V-Ti alloys there are two main types of traps for hydrogen and from which the hydrogen release occurs in the temperature range of 780–790 (peak I) and 870–880 K (peak II) The position of peak I on the temperature scale does not depend on the alloy composition, and the intensity and position of peak II on the temperature scale are determined by the alloy composition. Titanium non-monotonically affects the amount of hydrogen retained: an addition of 0.5% Ti decreases, 1 and 5% Ti increases, and 10% Ti again decreases the amount of hydrogen in the alloy. A physical explanation of the appearance of two peaks of hydrogen thermal desorption and nonmonotonic influence of titanium on the amount of hydrogen in vanadium is proposed.
