Abstract

The embrittlement of vanadium and tantalum by hydrogen has been investigated with the ultimate goal being to answer three specific questions concerning ductility behavior in different temperature ranges. Torsion pendulum internal friction and another technique using the torsion pendulum as well as visual observations have been used to establish the solid solubility curve in the V-H and the Ta-H systems. The primary variables studied in this work were tensile strain rate, test temperature and hydrogen content. The results have been analyzed and tentative hypotheses have been set forth to explain the ductility behavior of the hydrogen charged metals.
