KINETICS OF HYDROGEN PENETRATION INTO A CANTILE MADE OF HIGH-PURITY PALLADIUM AND α-PdH ALLOYS

The influence of the rate of hydrogen supply into the chamber on the deformation process of a cantilever made of pure palladium and an α-PdHn alloy at a temperature of 200 С 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 experimentally established that the rate of hydrogen supply into the chamber affects the kinetics of the deformation process of a cantilever made of pure palladium, and is described by logarithmic functions, the duration of the plateau decreases with an increase in the rate of reaching the maximum bending.
