STUDY OF THE INTERACTION PROCESS OF PALLADIUM ALLOY WITH HYDROGEN IN α-REGION OF THE Pd-H DIAGRAM

The influence of the rate of hydrogen supply into the chamber on the process of form̶ changing of a cantilever made of pure palladium and α-PdHn alloy at a temperature of 150 ₒC was studied. It was shown that the process of hydrogen saturation of palladium occurs in two stages: rapid bending, reaching the maximum bending with the formation of a plateau, and gradual straightening of the cantilever to a stationary state. It was established that the rate of hydrogen supply into the chamber affects the kinetics of the process of deformation of the cantilever, the speed of reaching a stationary state.
