Abstract

The effects of graphite and B on hydrogen absorption by Ti under the mechanical treatment in H2/He flow and on the thermal stability of Ti-hydride produced during milling were studied using kineticand spectroscopic techniques. The results obtained are compared with corresponding properties of pure Ti. Both additives stimulate the formation of occupation sites for hydrogen that are not present when pure Ti is milled in H2/He flow. These sites are characterized by low H2 desorption temperature: ~600 K instead of ~1000 K.
